Customer Ratings & Reviews

This story is simply revolutionary. Some may not understand the hidden meanings within this film. It takes a deep look at what we - as humans - are... and where we should be heading and what we should become. The acting is spot on and the writing insightful. We are all one. A must see!

Always an interesting topic to dance around. This movie discusses it in a different light. It highlights more the story that with today's tech we can decipher alien languages and potentially communicate with them. Not a typical alien movie where the focus is on the Aliens.

Similar to Interstellar, Arrival is not your typical Science Fiction movie. If you make the effort to think about the themes flowing through this movie, you will be rewarded. Both Amy Adams & Jeremy Renner give excellent performances. Forest Whitaker is very good in a supporting role.

And that's a good thing. As a connoisseur of SF movies, I have to say this is one of the best edited movies I've ever seen. Far and away the best thing I saw last year. The fact that I have a child with a medical condition only made this movie that much more powerful. A great film.

Really enjoyed this movie. Some folks hated the ending, but I was fine with it. Video wise the colors are muted, and the audio has some really "punchy" moments that will jolt your sound system. Not everyones cup of tea, but I enjoyed it.

This is one of the best SciFi movies of the last 30-40 years! While I usually lean towards the action movies like Star Wars and Star Trek sometimes you need more. This film is thought provoking and enjoyable on many levels. Definitely a movie that needs to be viewed more than once.

I honestly cannot recommend this film enough. It was easily among my favorite of the year and kept me on an emotional roller coaster as the narrative progresses and things are revealed both to the characters and the we as the audience. A great film that makes you think.

This movie is a very slow paced thoughtful piece of filmmaking that is one of the best sci-fi films I have seen. If you want explosions stay away if you want a thought provoking mind bending and touching film than purchase this movie.

The unique approach to story telling makes this alien invasion film stand out from the rest. Not only that, but the fact that the main point of the movie isn't the invasion, but themes of communication, makes it more relevant, especially in these times of political tension.

This is not your typical alien invasion movie, it is so much more. It is more of a thinking man movie, with such a great story and tone. The atmosphere is great, turn the speakers up and sit back for a great sci-fi movie experience. It is a must have movie in your collection.

This movie has little action I'd consider it a thinking persons movie. Well put together as evident from he academy award nomination. One thing you cannot help but get out of the movie is man is afraid and fights out at what he does not understand and it's mostly unfounded

Great cast, a little confusing how director gets to the end, but overall very entertaining. The nations of the world would be very similar if this actually happened.

This is definitely one of the better big budget sci fi movies lately. I guess that is why it was nominated for a few Academy Awards. Blu-ray is excellent video and 7.1 DTS sound quality. Some may complain the movie is a bit dark but that is the way it as in the theater too.

To be honest, my father is the one who convinced me to go see this in theatres. I was completely against it at first, but after watching it was well worth the money. So the DVD was worth the buy especially with the digital copy included that way it can be watched anywhere.

Clearly a scifi. Film but there is so much more there it warrants watching more than once. Really well constructed so you are trailing along with 1 storyline then realize that you have been exposed to the real story all along.

The first time I saw this movie was on Blu-Ray and did not know what to expect. I must say I was not disappointed, Great movie. Suspenseful and it kept my interest all the way to the end. Did not know how this movie was going to end, it did surprise me. A must see movie.

Some great acting and visuals, not an alien buffet if you will but a nice persoective. Great audio, kind of a dark film visually. More of a story about the lead than the encounter. I would recomend this to movie lovers .

First off, if you don’t enjoy using your critical thinking skills you might not enjoy this film. Loved this film, the writing, the acting the cinematography. It was so lovely to see the gifted Amy Adams portray a scientist deciphering the alien communications.

I am very picky when it comes to movies, But I am so glad I jumped on board with this one !!

I completely enjoyed the movie but I had to turn the sound up to 100 and turn on the subtitles in English so that I could read the content that I could not hear. It is a very quiet and dark movie. I understand the producer wanted it that way on purpose.
