Arrival is one of the more unique and interesting sci-fi movies in the last 10 years.
I'll be entirely honest, I didnt think much of Arrival when I saw it in 2017, but rewatching it now I certainly can see it's merit. While hardly thrill-a-minute, Arrival does manage to make an engaging film out of what seems to be a fairly mundane idea. As it turns out, the idea of a language professor decrypting an Alien language is actually quite interesting.
Not much actually happens in the film, but don't let that trick you into thinking it's boring.
The audio and visuals were all spot on even if slightly uneventful. There is next to no spectable in Arrival.
