• I started watching this because I was looking for a movie that had plot twists. I didn't know anything about it, but going in and knowing it was about aliens, I had my suspicions about what the twist could be but this was incredible. Rarely do we see an alien film where war isn't the entire film. Instead, this entire movie covers those precious early moments of first contact and you're never bored. The focus on language and trying to understand each other is such an interesting idea and watching it unfold was mesmerizing. You almost felt enchanted in a way and you couldn't help but want to know and understand more. Though events start unfolding as you'd expect they would if this situation were to actually come to pass, the plot twist of this film is jaw-dropping. I literally could not believe I didn't see it coming, despite knowing there was one, and I genuinely sat on my couch for about an hour after this discussing it because I could not stop thinking about it. For a movie centered around language, it ironically left me speechless.

• Great casting and plot, with a lot of interesting thoughts regarding language and alternate forms of communication.

  I’m glad to see they’ve finally caught up with the viewing public.

• I think Arrival is a lot of interesting concepts that do not cohesively come together into a great sci-fi story. Because of the themes of language, it really worked a lot better as a short story than it does as a movie.

• Absolutely brilliant. Have watched it many times and each time I pick up something new. Going to re-watch this weekend!!!

• Have never been fully onboard with Amy Adams in most movies she has been in. She is good in this though. Love how the story takes it time to unravel, keeping viewers guessing until it finally comes together in the end. Fascinating look at language and how it connects us.

Arrival is a smart tale of alien contact that boasts great visuals and performances, if also more brains than heart.

  I'm sure I should read the original short story but this movie is great because it inspires you to contemplate questions that we typically take for granted. We rarely consider how language shapes our thinking & this story delves into that vital issue that controls how we see the world. It also explores deep questions of fate vs free will.

  I love a movie that makes you think & this one will inspire much contemplation if yoh are up for it.

  A near-perfect Sci-fi suspense story, but with real emotional impact.

  One of the worst sci/fi movies I have ever watched. Boring. I saw it when it first came out.

  Renner is one of my wife's favorite actors - SciFi is my favorite genre' (beginning about 1959 with my dad's Big-Little books, and Flash Gordon). The plot, the writing, the acting, the visuals, the characters (except for that dumb-a__'d colonel) were outstanding. Our "gripe," which is MOST aggravating, is the audio-engineering - no matter what "profile" of our sound-bar we tried, much of the dialog was whispered / mumbled, and overwhelmed by the music-score and electronic sound-effects. WHY do these "audio-guys" insist on trying to make "movies" into a physical "experience," with belly-shaking bass and every visual "scare" emphasized with a 18db increase in volume? Even if you're a twenty-something with exceptional hearing, the intellectual part of the movie (dialog) has now become 2nd or 3rd priority to the need to use music and sound-effects, at high sound-pressures, to try to bring you, physically, into the experience of the movie. For this reason - alone - this movie, in our opinion, really sucked.
