Arrival

Arrival is a science-fiction thriller dealing with the arrival of UFOs around the world and the mysterious aliens that preside inside all without delving into the usual tropes in alien invasion movies. Directed by Denis Villeneuve and starring Amy Adams, the main story concerns Adams's character being recruited by the US military due to her translation skills in order to interpret the writings of the aliens before other governments see them as a threat. Unlike most films dealing with aliens, Arrival doesn't rely on huge action set pieces with huge explosions, has a moderately slow pace that helps it in order to show how something like interpreting alien language can actually take a long time to do, and uses time travel in such a way that you didn't even realize until the end. This is one of those films that break away from the usual establishment that it will be forever remembered. The performances by supporting roles as played by Jeremy Renner and Forest Whitaker are also memorable and just as important. Over all: 97%
