A Real Snooze-Fest

Rating: 5/10 (24 October 2017)

I love Sci-Fi, but ARRIVAL was a huge disappointment. Oh, the acting is fine, effects OK, and the story is believable enough. It's not a Creatures From Outer Space Attack movie by any means, just a VERY subtle and even boring movie that rapidly becomes predictable. At the halfway mark in the film you stop hoping something actually happens and start hoping the thing ends. If you made it through the entire movie, you instantly realize it's a film you'll never want to watch again. That the thing was nominated for Best Picture is proof that drug usage is rampant in Hollywood. BLAH. 5/10.
