When bored writers spend hours sipping coffee

Rating: 1/10 (29 January 2017)

When you combine The Sixth Sense, Prometheus, A Beautiful Mind and Independence Day with coffee cup stains you arrive at err umm 'Arrival'! With a plot as solid as a soap bubble, we can but wonder, how it got nominated to the Oscars. The number of coffee cup stains you see on the screen is the number of movies it has derived inspiration from.
Except for one scene that shows gravity drag, there was nothing impressive about the film (not a spoiler, it's on the trailers). If shivering can qualify as acting and a didgeridoo sounds alien, we can't help, but judge the imagination of the Director.
After half a century, Hollywood has finally gotten bored of portraying Russia as it's arch enemy and have elevated China to this post. This movie would have been complete if they had thrown in some robots and zombies.
