This is beyond your intellectual capacity, you will love it if you can accept that intellect is limited.

There are movies that fit well within your intellect and are absolutely amazing, like interstellar or inception. You can figure out the math, even though complicated, and come to terms with it.
Arrival, however, is more real. Meaning that it touches the boundaries of your intellectual capacity, you logically see that it can't be understood, and it blows your boundaries away! And in that is the understanding. It makes sense and yet you won't be able to 'figure it out'.
This movie is not for those who put their egotistical self above reason. Anyone with genuine curiosity would see the obvious paradox that it is beyond and within reason simultaneously.
Put your head aside and enjoy the flick! The understanding will happen by itself.
