really innovated sci-fi masterpiece

Rating: 10/10 (15 February 2017)

Finally a movie created an alien race who has super-intelligence and wisdom. And finally a movie detailed the scientific approach to depict the process to reach mutual understanding between different races! Long before "Arrival", we have movies like "Contact" or "Close Encounters of the Third Kind", but "Arrival" combines so many different aspect of human nature in it. We as human, we make dreams, we fear, we explore, we love, we hate, we trust, we distrust. As a human being, this is a must-see movie. truly innovated.
As for the audiences who fell sleep because failed to see "something to happen", maybe they are just waiting for violence in so many other sci-fi action movies, which lots of action and explosions do happen, but lack something more subtle beyond that. We already had enough violence in so many movies, why not try something else? A truly advanced alien race do not need any explosion to demonstrate their power.
