📖 Synopsis
Twelve extraterrestrial spacecraft appear at various locations around the planet. Linguist Louise Banks is recruited by the military to attempt establishing communication with the visitors before global panic triggers a military response. Denis Villeneuve adapted Ted Chiang's short story into a first-contact film that uses linguistics, the physics of time, and grief as ingredients for a story that turns the alien invasion genre on its head.
✍️ Our review
8.0/10
★★★★☆
Arrival is the smartest first-contact film since 2001. Villeneuve and Amy Adams create something unusual: science fiction that speaks about language, time, and love. The third act redefines everything that came before. Worth watching twice.
