Positive—I forgive this film’s clever attempt at promoting globalism… And I do so, because the film is a stunning sci-fi movie. I can’t recall for a long while being so captivated and enthralled by the sustained wonder, as well as the tension, that this movie is able to not only create but maintain.

Neutral— Staring up to the stars and not knowing what is up there will only create a void that has to be filled. It can be filled by God, or, in this case, Aliens. The movie “Arrival” chooses the latter. Language is very interesting.

Did you know?

Trivia

The siren emitted throughout the movie signaling the scientists' preparation to approach the ship is identical to the siren used in The Purge (2013) and its sequels.

In the end, I hope you like this movie! Have a good spring break!
