"Are we truly alone?"comes 2mind even though its Just a film,its something more than Entertaining

Rating: 10/10 (12 November 2016)

I thought that this film as a great movie!It is a movie both enjoyed and one that I was glad to see,let alone to of heard about being the fact is that I don't have cable,so hearing about what new expected films coming to theaters or to DVD,etc.I just knew that this Sci-Fi seemed very good from seeing trailers on the internet.Once watching it,the past films along the lines that bring to mind questions:"Are we truly alone?...Is there life on other planets?On &/or In other systems?"&so forth.Granted this is a Sci-Fi film,that had great actors who played the laid out story-line of their characters,and as humans.The hint of uncertainty of what the new "Arrivals" want,are they friend or foe,what do they want...
I'm guessing some of the influences in making this movie came from other similar ones,only making it "from a new perspective".Also,IMHO,maybe using even history,such as evidence unearthed left by human-kinds various ancestors "records" dated centuries ago,found All over the world showing drawings,depictions,&so forth.Having the help of Geologists,Scientists,Ancestors still alive.It seemed to have a common translation of sorts shown that we believe as Aliens and ships,majoratively"similar".Point is that I think that if the film- makers and the other similar films also did their research.Looking @our combined wanting to explore,learn more.
It succeeded and then some for when it comes to my taste in books,TV shows,as well as films,making this a memorable,enjoyable one I hope to watch again,much like how I also enjoy the film"Lucy",&its technology Sci-Fi sub-genre style!I am glad to say openly i think it is also one I recommend to others to enjoy!
***On a separate subject apart from my review of"Arrival".When it comes to rating movies that are more than say just a single numbered rating system I find is a bit limited,&a bit frustrating admittedly.Given its rather hard to use IMDb's(along w/Amazon's too)rating system,its always been to where I wish there were ways to rate films altogether in having the 1 through 10 scale w/the ability to have @the very least,"half-star"ratings available,as in,".5 through 10/10" Star Rating.Just saying!***
