Really surprised by the negative reviews for this

Rating: 9/10 (15 October 2017)

I'm not a fan of the director ... I found Arrival a self important, boring, reboot of so much that has gone before ... I also am no fan of Mr Gosling ... Not that he's bad in this day and age of "actors", just a bit ... Whatever He was perfect for this part ... He makes a fine "whatever" here... And the director gets the atmosphere right ... It didn't even seem overlong ... For me to only think " I wonder how much longer it is to go ? " once is a breakthrough these days ... But for some unknown reason some people really don't seem to like it !!! ... My advice, don't listen to any of us, go and see it if you want ... I personally would advise you to see it on the biggest screen you can, cos if you don't and you see it on the monitor at home, there's a really good chance that you'll regret it ... Its not perfect ... But what is ?
