But as far as that, the movie never really transforms into anything more than a slice of life. Yes, the woman knows what'll happen in the next few years by the end of the movie, but what does she say to the guy that would happen to? The moral of the story is to live life even if it means going through heartbreak, but if feels hollow as it all felt avoidable to a degree and yet also in some ways makes the inevitability of the situation even worse.

It's hard to say without spoiling, but it's decent to below average (a 6 rather than a 7). The soundtrack is probably the only other above average thing about this movie, though, very etherial and melancholy. God rest the soul of the composer.… Expand

This film is chock full of clichés, false do-gooders and, as if that weren't enough, it almost seems to send anti-abortion messages (especially in the finale).

Arrival is a modern Sci-Fi. Both in the good and in the bad sense of the word. Arrival is spectacular and beautiful to attract a large audience, and moderately stupid not to scare away the mass audience. Excellent cast, one of the best rolesArrival is a modern Sci-Fi. Both in the good and in the bad sense of the word. Arrival is spectacular and beautiful to attract a large audience, and moderately stupid not to scare away the mass audience. Excellent cast, one of the best roles of Amy Adams. Arrival should be watched only in the original, Arrival about linguistics, so dubbing completely changes the idea of the film. Arrival is a vivid example of popularizing Sci-Fi in wide circles, but only because it is a bad example of the genre. Arrival is too simple and stupid. If you want a real Sci-Fi, watch Annihilation. Of course, the Arrival movie is not worse, and it looks even better for most people, but when they say that this is one of the best Sci-Fi about exploring extraterrestrial life, you catch only irritation.… Expand

Esse filme é um dos mais originais com este tema. Daria pra ter uma continuação fácil fácil. E realmente nos pensar como seria o mundo se houvesse apenas uma linguagem

Да, в фильме есть некоторые странности, в виде вояк, которые хотят уничтожить корабли пришельцев (которые вряд ли вообще можно уничтожить нашими технологиями), но без учёта этих нюансов, фильм вышел отличным.… Expand

Cerebral and delightful. Burns slowly but warmly. Hard to type 75 characters with no spoilers! In the spirit of contact is about right.

Denis villeneuve shows us all his talent in this film which is for me his best : science fiction is used in the best way. I have rarely been so taken by the mystery of a film during my first cinema session.

This film just struck a chord with me, it felt so profound, minimalistic but very emotional. The score is a masterpiece and deserves as much praise, if not more, than the movie itself.

Massively overrated. Nonsense science masquerading as deep thoughts for those that don't know any better. I don't know how else to explain that what you see in this movie is just silliness.

Zwölf schwarze, Muschelartige Raumschiff landen an zwölf verschiedene Orte auf der Welt. Die amerikanische Regierung in Person von Colonel Weber (Forest Whitaker) schickt zu einem die Linguistin Louise Banks (Amy Adams) und den MathematikerZwölf schwarze, Muschelartige Raumschiff landen an zwölf verschiedene Orte auf der Welt. Die amerikanische Regierung in Person von Colonel Weber (Forest Whitaker) schickt zu einem die Linguistin Louise Banks (Amy Adams) und den Mathematiker bzw. Physiker Ian Donnelly (Jeremy Renner), um herauszufinden, was die Außerirdischen wollen. Dabei haben die anderen Nationen einen anderen Plan und es gilt den Frieden zu bewahren.

Arrival ist ein super Science-Fiction-Film, welcher das Thema: Landung von Außerirdischen. Anders behandelt, als die meisten Blockbuster Filme. In den meisten Filmen wird sofort auf die Objekte geschossen und die Außerirdische greifen an. Bei Arrival handeln alle erst ein mal rational und wollen herausfinden, was das für Objekte sind und was die Bewohner wollen. Als Zuschauer überlegt man mit, um was es sich handeln könnte und ob die Bewohner böse sind. Was der Film besonders gut macht, ist die visuelle Umsetzung und den Sound. Die Außerirdische sehen gruselig aus und könnten aus einem Horrorfilm sein. Die Spannung wird gut gehalten und es wird nie langweilig. Der Anfang des Filmes ist sehr emotional, womit ich nicht gerechnet hätte. Wie versucht wird zu kommunizieren ist sehr interessant und gut gelungen und jeder versucht selbst was zu interpretieren. Den Twist des Filmes habe ich teilweise erahnt, trotzdem war ich geschockt und habe mit einigen Sachen nicht gerechnet. Das Ende ist ebenfalls wie der Anfang sehr emotional und schön. Ians Charakter wird nicht stark beleuchtet, der Film konzentriert sich eher auf Louise, dagegen wirkt Ian eher nur dafür da, damit das Ende funktioniert.
