A space type film of investigations and questions it makes you think and challenges in an intellect way.

Rating: 7/10 (14 November 2016)

Going in to watch "Arrival" you might expect a little "Mars Attacks", "Star Wars," or even "Star Trek" after seeing it you compare it more to "Gravity" or a "Deep Horizon" kind of film. Still the movie in my opinion nothing excellent still entertains as it challenges the mind of the viewer the questions of space, man, and life and how it interacts with the globe and other forms of life.
The plot is pretty simple an odd mystery type of spacecraft touches the globe and all of a sudden the military community wants answers is the universe on verge of a global war? How does it apply to life and humanity? So is it possible to have communications with alien life? Now enter Dr. Banks(Amy Adams)who's a linguist expert and she's sent on an expert mission with other military officials and Ian(Jeremy Renner)to find answers and see what life holds thru other forms and if communication is the way to go get answers and find safety.
Overall this film is more of a challenge of intellect with a lot of questions which some are answered and others posed are questions of mystery about present wonders of alien life and hint at a global war also being served on the table, so give this film a watch for yourself and be the judge.
