Presumptuous and overrated

Rating: 4/10 (23 January 2017)

I went to see "Arrival" after I read some positive reviews and I was completely disappointed when the credits started to roll. The direction is average and the story is dull. It was really difficult not to fall asleep in the movie theater. The director is presumptuously assuming that the audience will be sucked in to his movie: the result is an inconsistent film, with zero suspense nor anything interesting to say. So what does the message have to say? That languages and the communication between from different nations and cultures will save us from wars and unify us?
Completely overrated; I was expecting more from the director of the powerful Incendies and Prisoners. Will I ever watch it again? Surely not.
