Verdict: So much more than just another alien movie. If you don't already know, Arrival is based on a short story by Ted Chiang named Story Of Your Life (great read, by the way).

It is with slight regret that I look back at his previous film Sicario the first film that I ever reviewed and wonder why I didnt award it 5 stars. It has only matured with time.

As if youre floating in space, being sucked into a wormhole; your mind, and your emotions, sucked dry from the monumental work of brilliance youve just experienced. ...Read full review

The strength of Chiangs story is so powerful that Villeneuve could probably replace the lead actors with most other Hollywood A-listers and still have the same impact. ...Read full review

Too many films these days give away too much by way of plot in their trailers. So I decided to watch Arrival knowing as little as I possibly could about the film, and without having watched the trailer deliberately. All Id read before going in is that the films title denoted the arrival of aliens on earth, and that Amy Adams is brought in to communicate with them. That much is about all you need to know, to help you decide if you want to watch the film. ...Read full review
