Exceptional Sci-fi

Rating: 9/10 (13 December 2016)

I got to see the movie quite after some time of its release date in India. After watching the trailers, it was on my priority list to watch this movie. Well I would say first half of the movie was above average and second half was exceptional special because of the twist and the original content.
The kind of panic created amongst humans, is something that I at some time before would not have imagined. Today I think such type of panic could be possible.
Direction: Director, Denis Villeneuve's work as prisoners and sicario did not attract me much, but his direction for Arrival was exceptional.
Screenplay: Screenplay was average.
Cinematography: Cinematography was above average. I liked the scene when camera rotates around set military base.
Tone: I have always liked Sci-fi. When it comes to aliens, I always like to accept them as Friends. Thus the tone of the movie was something I liked. I t would take someone with little science know how to understand the movie. To go further non- linear time, well that's very difficult to understand, but that won't spoil your movie experience.
Music: Violin music at the end was charming.
Acting: Acting was average.
Aliens were here to explain Amy Adams, importance of her genes, the ones which can perceive non-linear time. She needed to reproduce. Well that was something I found awesome. Just saying that because after reading some reviews I felt people dint get that part.
