Arrival (2016)
The most interesting aspect of aliens may have yet to be discovered.
Presentation:
This is Denis Villeneuve's entry into his desired science fiction genre. The film looks fantastic utilizing beautiful natural light and a very moody atmosphere. This is a very pleasant addition offering something new to the alien genre, which relies mostly on psychological and political aspects requiring you to think the whole time.
Story:
Ridiculous premise, you can't see the future even if that's how language programs your mind, still a great watch anyway.
Conclusion:
A fascinating story that hinders on some psychological theories like linguistic determinism/whorfs hypothesis, which if you've never heard of or aren't able to grasp, may lead to a very confusing experience. But the visuals and presentation might be so good that you'll love every moment of it.
