Pointless, boring and disappointing

Rating: 1/10 (2 February 2017)

The extraterrestrial contacts always intrigued authors, movie makers and viewers. Despite the many books and films touching that thematic, it's so overwhelming that the movie goers have an endless interest in it. However, Arrival succeeded to kill even that interest. The movie is simply boring. For minutes you should watch just a dark screen on which nothing goes on. And the dialogues are as interesting as a lesson on the dialects of the wooden frogs. But how this move got its high rating? Most of those ratings are coming from the young viewers. They have never seen the great movies of the 50s, and 60s, and 70s, so they have nothing to compare to. Any drivel that has a killer or a thousand of car crashes gets their high approval rating. Too bad that the movie industry is dying against our eyes.
