One of the best I've seen in a while

Rating: 9/10 (16 December 2016)

Arrival is the latest alien movie to be released, and it completely avoids clichés, which is a good thing. Instead of relying on science fiction cliché and formula, it tells a very original story about a linguistics professor (Amy Adams) and a scientist (Jeremy Renner) who interact with these aliens that have landed in 12 different spacecrafts all around the world. The movie is very well written and the acting is superb on the part of Adams, Renner, and Whitaker. The effects here are great, the aliens look very interesting and I loved the way they designed the spaceships. I especially liked how the aliens communicated, their language and how Adams worked to decode it will really keep your attention. Even if you are not a science fiction fan, you will still walk away loving this film because it's just a very well made film that makes you think. The last thing Arrival is is generic, it's very intriguing and thought provoking. Go and see this wonderfully entertaining film! 9/10 for Arrival!
