What do you do if you knew the future?

Rating: 9/10 (18 March 2020)

Despite the sci-fi/alien appearance of Arrival, there are many aspects of human life addressed delicately in this movie.
Beside the incredible regard to "language" in our world and how much it can be important, complex and intertwined with our thoughts and dreams, I think the key feature of the movie, is that one dimension that we're still trying to crack up; TIME! The main question for our linguistic (Amy Adam's character), is not the matter of how to communicate with aliens, but rather how much she's going to change her life decisions when future is revealed to her? So, does it still worth to live through all the pain, when you know how it's going to end?
Also, there were so many moments that I was just astonished by the amazing shots, like when the spaceships vanished into awesome clouds, that made me appreciate the CGI work behind this extraordinary movie very much.
Like "Sicario" and "Prisoners", Denis Villeneuve successfully transferred stress and tension throughout the movie, yet without the guns and violence, and definitely didn't let me keep my eyes off the screen for a moment!
Can't wait to see his other movies!
