Rating: 10/10 (25 November 2016)

Arrival is a movie I will easily give 10/10 and perhaps more it there was more points on scale. Let's break down why this film works. Firstly we have the incredible Amy Adams and her performance is absolute terrific.Other Cast including Renner has done great work especially there were some people not familiar to sci-fi but we actually good. Each Moment of Amy Adam is perfect. Her skills are so good that you will love her.As a linguistic professor she killed it. Now the score of the film composed by Johann Johannsson is really terrific and by that I mean its haunting , captivating and a perfect fit to the situation presented j this wonderful movie. Thirdly and most Importantly it's the sci-fi we all have been waiting for. Sci-fi genre in Hollywood is now very common and in that too I think alien invasion are even more common. Every time just huge aliens arrive and humans fight them with all their power but that's not the case here. Thats why Ariival is exceptional. So Basically Huge 12 alien ships called "shells" have stationed themselves around 12 positions over the world and a gate opens after every 18 hours. So US Military contacted Louise(Amy Adams) and then begins the epic journey.Before that we must know that she lost her only daughter to cancer. So She and Jeremy Renner's Theoretical Physicist character starts working together to decipher their language. She is successful to have contact with them and starts having some flashbacks after that. Upto this point the story is woven so wonderfully with Breathtaking Cinematography. Aliens are hetapods due to their appearance and Ian(Renner) even name them Abbot and Costello. As Louise began to understand their language more completely , other nations are willing to attack them .Once Louise ask them what they want- they reply offer weapon .Similar nation receive answer like use weapon.So China declares war on them within 24 hours. US military also plant a bomb inside their ship t attack them . Unknown of the bomb Louise and Ian goes inside only to find some weird message from them. After the timing of bomb approaches Costello goes away and Abott saves Ian and Louise by throwing them away. They both wake up in camp and quickly figure out they want to offer something that perceives time differently which they called weapon.Quickly Louise understands something and go to them again even though now they are more higher in the sky after the attacks but they do not leave. They send a small ship for Louise and when Louise goes back inside everything becomes clear. Costello says that Abott is dying and when Louise asks them why are they here, they say they want to help humanity by giving them a gift which is their language as their language has the ability to change perception of time whose flow is linear for us and not for them.In exchange they want Humanity's help after 3000 years. Louise quickly understands her flashbacks are in fact future happenings and that she can understand her language and also understands various small things that accounts for what happens.She realizes she needs to stop Chinese general and others to stop them attacking the aliens. She quickly sees a visions where she meets the General in a celebration and he shows her his number and also says her his wife dying words.Louise then contacts him in present to spot the attack once and for all. After this all the ships disappear as they have given their gift. Ian confesses his love for Louise and she sees again visions of her with her daughter and Ian. This way the movie ends and this is how its great.The Director has done a great or far beyond great work to prepare this masterpiece.It will never be forgotten and hailed as a modern classic. Now apart from this I can ARRIVAL is best sci-fi after gravity , inception , interstellar and others. So Naturally it will get Best Picture Nomination at Oscars.Also I think it can clearly get 6 Oscars in total and that's just predictions 1. Best Picture - Maybe first sci-fi to win this title 2. Best Score - I think it has very high chances here 3. Best Adapted Screenplay - Definitely a strong contender here 4. Best Director - Maybe it can grab this 5. Best Actress - Amy Adams already has had 5 nominations and she can easily win here but I think she will have competition from Natalie Portman's portrayal of Jackie Keneedy 6. Best Visual Effects - Jungle Book and Doctor Strange are strong contenders but this can have a chance
