Definitely a thought provoker for the times
A sci-fi film that will be seen as one of groundbreakers like Close encounters and 2001
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.
