At one point it's getting a bit boring, and that's not good

Rating: 6/10 (22 April 2017)

Okay if there is one genre of movies I'm always excited about it is sci-fi. And so when I saw the high ratings on IMDb for Arrival I thought it was going to be a masterpiece. But after watching the movie I can only conclude it didn't deliver my expectations. It all starts promising with strange things visiting our planet, and with interesting extraterrestrial octopus life forms trying to communicate with us. The end was also not bad, but the problem is everything between the beginning and the end. It's all way too slow and too long of the same story. Amy Adams trying to figure out the language, Amy Adams thinking, Amy Adams in deep thoughts, Amy Adams figuring everything out etc. After a while, watching Amy Adams in deep thoughts over and over again, it's getting boring. Too bad because the movie could have been much better if there would have been a bit more action. It's just a movie good to watch once, but it won't be remembered as a brilliant sci-fi movie. Well at least not by me.
