A significant addition to any collection of Sci Fi movies. Mor of a suspence thinker than the usual laser laden space war fare. This movie tip toes into the shallow end of the difficult concept of non linear time without unnecessary convolutions and theorhetical geek speak through the eyes of a very real person, trying to comunicate with totally alien beings. Well written and played by director, cast and crew.

For the first half of this picture you go on a sci fy ride. But then it stalls out and crashes you down to a confused ending. None of the expectations are met and you wind up with a bag of air instead of answers. The premise drags on and on with with an ending just as mysterious as the premise. By the end of movie I was glad it was over.

I personally was not taken by this movie but my son had not seen it and asked for it for his birthday. That is the reason for this purchase. It is a matter of personal taste and I will be interested to hear if he liked this movie. I thought it was just OK.

Interesting take on the alien "invasion" thing, with a little bit of the old 50s and 60s sci fi elements thrown in for good measure. The drama was good and heartfelt. And Amy Adams is a DOLL!

This in a very well-done version of an old Sci-Fi theme of the world finally uniting when invaded by aliens. Like most of these stories, distrust between countries almost lead to war just before the climax, when there is finally some understanding and hesitant trust between governments. Unlike most of the similar plots, these invaders are peaceful. They simply land in a dozen spots around the world and attempt to communicate. It's done from the perspective of one of the humans trying to understand the aliens purpose in coming, since there have been no signs of aggression or any signs of them leaving their ships - they simply land and sit there. Amy Adams (Lois Lane from Superman) and Jeremy Renner (Hawkeye from Avengers) do a great job as the team of scientists who are trying to communicate with the aliens.Read full review

Interesting movie - a more modern version of the Arrival 1 and 2 movies with reference to link with the Alien and Predator movies- why have they come?? Will make a good addition to my movie collection. It was shipped and delivered in reasonable amount of time and played well.

Slow beginning that keeps your interest; midway, the story starts to develop and it's ending let's you use your imagination.I liked it.

Without vast armadas - without endless pyrotechnics - without saying too much more that would spoil this flick for those who pay attention to detail and can follow a well-told story - I have to say Arrival is the thinking person's Sci-Fi. I would add that those who are Humble and Kind would see the story and enjoy! - Have a good time with this one! ~;0) VivaChas!

This movie is not only a good science fiction story about communicating with an alien lifeforms it's also a story about the love of a parent for her child. There is a clever play on the chronologocial order of the film but you'll have to watch it to understand...maybe twice. Excellent cinematography, writing and directing...two thumbs up.
