Arrival a movie many pseudo-intellectuals over-praise its plot.

Rating: 5/10 (17 February 2017)

The First hour of the movie I was fine by it taking itself seriously, there was Pacing inconsistencies and lack of fictional construction (world-building) for the supposed events (such as the Aliens, where do they come from, what is the threat they speak of?). In addition to the extremely lame level of politics, no depth whatsoever there, *but the real bullshit was about to strike*) And then when the REVELATION happened.. and oh my god, what a ridiculous lazy bullshit revelation it was!! ; The whole part of the Chinese general and the issue with the top secret number of his, and those Chinese words that no body understood and was like "meh...not important we just need to forward the plot" and the extremely "Convenient" way the plot uses it to solve the problem destroys any tension the series tried to build up. *FACEPALM* That moment is where Arrival went full retard and insults the intelligence.
By the ending of the movie i was disappointed how they completely ignored to provide any answers or any world building to the whole story. Apparently the movie was busy trying to look mysterious and cool, Yeah.... Thanks for Nothing!

Some good points: * The movie first hour was a successful mystery which makes the viewer question what was happening and was something original focusing on the language instead of brainless action. * Unlike many modern Sci-fi, Arrival doesn't have bad acting and directing, on the contrary it was good. * The sounds (mixing and editing) were very good. * While it was a unique film compared to most modern Sci-Fi it still failed hard with serious issues, it's similar to a superior title "District 9" which i think handled the Alien on earth issue much better with more depth and meaning, also being more enjoyable and with a more unique and ambitious approach.

Side Note: I could've went with depth on explanations about the issues but i wanted to avoid spoilers.
