One of the best movies of 2016

Rating: 7/10 (28 November 2016)

Arrival is undoubtedly one of my favourite movies of 2016. It is very hard not to imagine what would happen in real life if we were visited by space ships from another planet. The scenario that plays out in the movie certainly seems plausible.
Amy Adams is cast as Louise Banks who is a leading linguist that is brought onto the military operation. She is charged with trying to decipher the communication from the alien craft. Jeremy Renner is cast as Ian Donnelly a physicist who befriends Banks on the team. The pacing of the movie is excellent and you are never quite sure where the movie is heading. Very engaging throughout.
