I would say Arrival is one of the most over-rated movies of 2016. Arrival starts with an overwhelming thrust but you will loose your focus eventually with the run time. If you are a big fan of drama, surely you will like the slow story building but I am pretty uncertain whether you would like the sudden cliché ending/death of the movie, along with your dateless patience. Loopholes are also pretty obvious, though not a big problem to follow the story line.
Arrival might remind you of 2001:Space Odyssey with a heavy flavor of Kubrick style. However, in my point of view, Arrival is crudely made with lack of sophistication.
Now lets say some good words.
Amy Adams was extraordinary, and incredible. I kept wondering on her effort and aptness throughout the movie. Well deserved performance for Academy Award! Soundtracks are well produced, especially the starting and the ending one. I bet you will keep listening the tracks for hours. Hats off to Mr. Richter!
Overall: Recommended, and 7/10.
