"Let's make a baby!"

Rating: 3/10 (29 November 2016)

In Arrival, two perfectly professional people, who've barely exchanged a look of sexual meaning all movie, take their relationship to the next level with the sophisticated and romantic pick- up line "let's make a baby!"!
IMO that stupid quote pretty much sums up the scripting you can expect from this lame, cheesy movie. Add a dumb, lazy ending in which the future is so conveniently revealed to save the present, I'd say the writer is probably deluded enough to think his pick-up line is good. Well, it isn't and, as that line was the so-called "climax" of this movie, I'd prefer the alternate ending in which the Chinese let loose the dogs of war as we'd all be better off dead than living in a world where pick-up lines like "let's make a baby!" had any chance of success!
The best thing about Arrival was leaving the cinema!
