The Arrival of boredom

Rating: 3/10 (18 February 2017)

Ever watched a movie where up until the last 5 minutes you're anxiously hoping for something to develop? but then it doesn't? If not, Arrival has Arrvied. An absolute slug-fest of a movie which draws you to flashbacks and flash-forwards of Louise's life. Meanwhile an above-average smart scientist (Ian) does nothing except express faces of awe and finally admits that he's fallen for Louise. Meanwhile the Aliens arrive on some vessel that defies every law of physics and space, they also pretty much happen to be Squid that make noises which are a cross between a Whale and a mating Lion. Louise and Ian proceed to make 54 trips back and forth to the Vessel whilst communicating to these animals via an iPad, at the same time, the World Powers are just waiting on developments from these 2 douchebags else they will send in their tanks.
The part that really annoyed me was that these Aliens had the knowledge to see future in 3,000 years, however neither of the 2 clown squids foresaw the future that a C4 bomb would be planted by some crazed soldier that would result in the death of one of them. It was the most unrealistic design of aliens, I think the producer was craving some Calamari when he thought of this.
