Thought Provoking!!

Rating: 9/10 (29 January 2017)

Wow! So far the Oscar movies are absolutely terrific and ARRIVAL is just as so. It deals with one of the most run-of-the-mill situations that has been portrayed several times in Hollywood-'The Arrival of extra terrestrials on earth.' However this approach is like nothing we've seen before. It is above the typical idea of extinction of the human race. It has a much more radical perspective (when I say this, I refer to the way they dealt with the situation, it was very human like)
Each and every aspect of the movie is perfect right from the story to the acting. Amy Adams and Jeremy Renner were brilliant as the leads. All the scenes were directed with a purpose that is easily understood. In each clip the audience is able to feel exactly what the director wanted to show. You are able to relate to the character's emotions and actions.
As for the story we see that more than it just being scientific, a philosophical outlook is also shown. The soundtrack is a great asset of the movie. It amplifies the feels of each situation for the audience. Especially in the ending, surely it'll stay in your head a while.
This movie is a must see. Everything you could possibly expect from it, it delivers on and does much more than that.
SPOILERS: The only questionable scene of the movie was the part where they show Louise teaching the language of the aliens to a class. Now imagine a world where everyone knew the future, that would be madness. Certainly someone would want to change what they see, and that could only lead to chaos.
