Atom User Reviews for Arrival
Definitely a thought provoker for the times
A sci-fi film that will be seen as one of groundbreakers like Close encounters and 2001
yes
Could have been good. But poorly made and way too slow with dull performances
Literally fell asleep during this film. Nothing happened for the first hour
no fun ...
One of if not my favorite movie of all time
Best scifi movie in ages
I fell asleep
Too many holes in this movie
Too long
Some people didn't know what was going on
Absolute beautiful piece of art
I was surprised, it wasn't what I was expecting, in a very good way. I went in thinking another alien movie, but it was more than that, it makes you think. Very well done and interesting, cerebral movie.
Very original alien story. Like most of Villanueve's films, it's a slow burner and your patience pays off big time by the end of the movie.
It was ok. It leaves you with a lot of questions.
Bad language
Pure suspense
amazing
Absolutely amazing movie
Outstanding! Masterful!
can't wait for the sequel
not bad but a bit boring.
See this movie! SEE IT!!!
Everything was awesome until they got towards the end of the film and it took a bad turn
Best Movie of 2016 so far.
not to sure
Just wow; so beautifully crafted.
DO NOT MISS THIS!!!
An accessible but non-dogmatic psych-spritual experience.
Waste and worst movie I ever saw in my life. Time waste.
PSA: #Arrival is a trap! It's actually a chick flick, and not that good.... You have been warned.
below my expectations
boring. dont go
confused the whole time and slow
Theater cut movie at "end of middle" for an unexpected emergency! So did not get to see outcome😔😡
it was a good movie
great
Amazing, beautiful and smart. A gorgeous movie.
Loved it
Trash
I obviously thought, from the previews, that this movie was going to be completely different. I was do bored through it, and I would be fine to never see it again. Disappointed is something I feel deep down with this one!
Very interesting. Different
Timeless Piece
Totally enjoyable.
One of the greatest science fiction films I've ever seen.
Amazing revelation in the 3rd act
This movie really blew my mind. If you liked Interstellar and Cloud Atlas this is a must see.
... loved it!
Comepletly different from what I thought it was going to be about. It's a great story just not what I went for.
Metacritic
Arrival has come, like a visitor from the cosmos, to blow minds and break hearts.
Arrival is a beautifully polished puzzle box of a story whose emotional and cerebral heft should enable it to withstand nit-picky scrutiny. And like all the best sci-fi, it has something pertinent to say about today’s world; particularly about the importance of communication, and how we need to transcend cultural divides and misconceptions if we’re to survive as a species.
