I definitely liked the film a lot. So few SciFi looks at how hard communication with aliens would be.

The short story the movie is based on is also very good. I like both actually.

Everything about Arrival was excellent. The cast, the music, the setting. How it handled the politics of it and how the narration was done.

It had a lot of narration and that is really hard to do and not bore the viewer to sleep. Arrival pulled that off nicely.

One of my top movies. It's genuine art, without feeling pretentious.
