Arrival Ratings & Reviews
- Fenrisfil−3 dOverrated movie. To be clear, the core concept taken from the source novella is good and interesting. However the screenplay is abysmal. The movie is full of clichés and bad dialogue. In some places it is downright stupid. This is no Interstellar, Contact or 2001. It is a good idea badly executed. For a start, the civilian scientist that happens to be the most important person in the world being picked up by the government as the only person for the job is as sci-fi cliché as you can get. Now that alone isn't a deal breaker, but it's deployed in its most generic form. The military are one dimensional idiots. All the supporting cast are. The film explains things like how when they ask "What do you want here" they need to be able to differentiate between you as a species and the individual.... I'm pretty sure the aliens would know what was meant, not to mention that we're talking about a race far more advanced than us. This isn't an aboriginal tribe, despite Louise clumsy made up analogy. The plot is full of this kind of thing. Stuff said to try and sound clever and profound but that seems to not actually think through the situation. At no point do they look to examine why the aliens are acting like they do. They go "Well they don't seem to be tourists or scientists and that's about it". No one examines it because the focus is so completely on the language stuff to the point of you hit the "Don't ask questions, just consume" stage. This kind of thing wouldn't be as much of an issue except this is sold to us as a high brow science fiction. It really is not. Also the aliens look like hands. Sure, aliens can look like anything, but I can't stop seeing them as giant hands. Call that a minor issue! More of an issue is the complete lack of chemistry between really any cast member, but the two scientists that fall in love especially. But then no one here really has much of a personality, so hard to have chemistry. When Ian says his remark about language not being the cornerstone of civilisation at the start it felt out of place and just there to be a blunt plot tool. Obviously he'd be proven wrong by Louise's genius. The conclusion is cheesy. I won't spoil that part, but while it ticks the box for science fiction (Which many modern sci-fi's actually don't, so kudos there) it's still a bit cringe. Ultimately the movie is visually okay. Not stunning. Not amazing. Just reasonable. The core story is fine. But the rest is bad. I feel 2.5/5 is about right. I really don't get the Villeneuve hype. His Blade Runner sequel was bad too. Dune part two was hit and miss. Dune part one was good and Sicario was very good. But I'm seeing more disappointment than classics from him.
- Gabriel Macasero26 april 2026Linguistics classics. Not your usual alien contact scifi film
- Cubane23 april 2026Extremely thought provoking. More than 10 years on from first seeing it in theaters, I still think on it frequently. Still one of the best examples of a linguistic primer ever shown in a film.
- S Jöhansson22 oktober 2024Just watched it again, and honestly, it might be even better the second time around.
- HaHaHarvey448 maj 2025What if aliens show up in giant obsidian coffee pods, and instead of nuking New York, they ask if we want to learn sentence structure? It’s a slow, thoughtful, brain-melting meditation on language, perception, and time, basically Independence Day for people who read books without pictures. Amy Adams is deciphering grief one inky Heptapod swirl at a time. These aliens don’t speak, they mist-blast entire concepts into the air like intergalactic Rorschach tests, and somehow it makes total sense. By the end, the twist doesn’t explode, it just lands in your chest like a memory you haven’t lived yet, quietly rearranging your understanding of time. There’s no war, no special effects show, just the terrifying realisation that communication might be the most powerful weapon, or gift, we’ve got.
- ChrisDawnMonroe19 april 2026This is my favourite science fiction movie that's adapted from a book. It's in my top 5 movies ever. It's just so damn beautiful.
