I loved Arrival picked it at random one day. Blew my mind really unique film, incredible

Same! Just watched it maybe 4 weeks back and then Project Hail Mary. Great movies in their own way.

I loved how phm in some ways referenced the linguistics themes arrival had, but kept it brief to not to be a direct rip off.

Not to be confused with The Arrival (1996), which is a blast of an enjoyable movie, though it’s not on the same level as Arrival. The effects don’t hold up well, sadly, but I love it all the same.
