Arrival is a science fiction film directed by Denis Villeneuve, which tells the story of Louise, a linguist who is recruited to help communicate with aliens who have landed on Earth. The film is based on a short story "Story of Your Life" and the filmmakers consulted experts in phonetics, linguistics and art to ensure accuracy in the movie's language and visuals. The story explores themes such as communication and the nature of time, but the reviewer found the film to be slow-burning and lacking in impact. The movie looks good and has a solid premise, but it did not grip the reviewer as much as... læs resten.
