I can definitely say for almost certain that I probably don't regret seeing this movie.

Rating: 5/10 (16 April 2017)

Don't go by IMDb, rotten tomato, metacritic, of "professional" film "critic" scores, folks... never. Arrival is a competently made movie and unusual, but not worthy of all of the 8 and 9-level scores it's been garnering.
Plot: testicular-shaped aliens traveling in testicular-shaped spacecrafts land all over Earth and we poor, ignorant man-animals scramble and panic, not knowing if the aliens come in peace like the ones from Mars Attacks or if they are, in fact, interested in probing "Uranus." As this is a spoiler-free review I won't reveal the "big twist," but a keyword rhymes with the word "lobe."
There is zuh-eeeero chemistry between our two leads, Amy Adams and Jeremy SHAFOLAGANAHADAZANNAN Renner. Just because they're scientists doesn't mean they have to be so ultra-serious and wooden. Scientists are people too; they just happen to be ones that can't pass an empathy test. But if we have a movie with something as far-fetched as space aliens, couldn't you guys cook up some chemistry between our leads and, I don't know... throw a pie once in a while?
Anyway: worthy of all the praise? Nah, go see Pacific Rim/Mad Max FR instead. And loosen up, it's only a movie.
