Customer Ratings & Reviews

Boring with no action. just plan pointless. Wasted two hours.

this movie was terrible. why it was up for academy award????

Just didn't do anything for me. Expected something better

watched it twice and still never understood this movie.

What a waste of time. This movie put the S into sucks.

Didn't like, actress was not very good - fell asleep.

Slow moving, bad special effects, ending is weird.

I first saw "Arrival" in the theatre and it became one of my favorite films of all-time. I also think that "Arrival" is one of the greatest films of all-time because it has a lot of entertaining and enjoyable action, drama, mystery and suspense including a really great and amazing cast, plot and personal storylines as well.

Arrival is one of those films you have to experience it for yourself and contemplate over the many subjects this film covers in a broad scope to look at. With Amy Adams subtle emotional performance, to the breathtaking cinematography and unique visuals , and the mind-blowing and very emotional twist make this movie an exciting movie experience to enjoy.

finally watched this film (with limited previous media exposure and no spoilers), and the experience was incredible. the visuals are as stunning as the concepts are deeply evocative and thought-provoking. the writing, directing, acting (especially Amy Adams), editing, special effects, and sound design are all remarkable. great sci-fi is used as a mirror to our human experience, and "Arrival" is one of the best sci-fi movies ever, full of intelligence, elegance, heart, and humanity. (like "Interstellar" but 10 times better, in my opinion.)

If you don't mind non-linear storytelling and a certain level of bafflement (at first), in return for a fantastic payoff at the end, this is a movie for you. No way is it an easy film, and I think lots of folks don't like for that reason. But if you love serious, meaty sci-fi, you're gonna love this film. Few movies I know of, for example, offer alien life that is truly alien. (No lumpy foreheads and heavy makeup in this flick, no sir.) But Arrival does and it is breathtaking. If I've discouraged you, that's OK. You won't want to see Arrival, because it will just annoy you. Everyone else, get this disk now.

This is not a movie for the non-intellectual as it bridges concepts and philosophies that require some rather deep thinking, although, it is still entertaining unto itself. Not sure if the storyline was about communication or about the predisposition of fear for the unknown and assumptions based upon faulty logic. A definite good addition for any DVD library for those times when you seek intellectual stimulation.

Arrival is just another incredibly written story by an incredible director! I love his work! Sicario, Prisoners, and now this masterpiece! I really hope they win the Oscar for this because this film was nothing short of extraordinary. The twist is big! The soundtrack to the film is perfect! You will leave that film with such a "wowed" state of mind.

This was a great scifi movie. It is not an action movie, but it is story with several original components. Denis Villeneuve is quickly becoming one of my favorite directors and I am looking forward to Blade Runner 2049!

This far exceeds the typical alien invasion genre of films. Definitely keeps you on the seat of your pants throughout the whole movie. Hard to say much more without giving away parts of the movie. All I can say is watch it and be pleasantly surprised.

After hearing from a lot of friends and some critics that it was not a really good movie. I gave it a shot and I was gladly satisfied. The movie is nothing like what you are thinking, but i keeps you interested the whole time.

really found this to be interesting and was among a nice crop of the years best. very happy with what this movie brought to the table.

No wonder this was nominated for so many Oscars, its a great movie! We have watched it several times and it never gets old. Beautiful story.

A great movie to watch full of exciting scenes. The meaning behind this movie is going to surprise you. Love this movie.

Best movie of 2016 and the movie will keep you guessing til the end
