Customer Ratings & Reviews

This was a very good movie, completely not your normal alien invasion type movie. It's truly a heart felt movie, very emotional and very well done. Watch it and you will see what I mean...

Good realistic scifi movie with careful consideration given to the real difficulties communicating with extra terrestrial life (should it ever get here). The ending was clever - nice twist.

This was a very interesting take on alien visitation, and communication relationships. It did have some surprising twists but wasn't over the top dramatic. I enjoyed this movie.

Arrival is an excellent movie, the story is very "solid". Excellent performance from Amy Adams, for some reason she was not nominated for an Oscar. It carries you along with each revelation. A thinking persons sci-fi experience.

I love this movie in the theater and can't wait to revisit it at home. I probably would have been interested in owning the blu-ray eventually anyway, but really got me to buy now was the extras on the disc - a great package!

This movie had great sci-fi action, while keeping you interested with wondering what was going to happen next. Make sure you pay attention at the beginning to understand the end. Awesome!

A good, well made, well acted sic-fi with some deep content and good social themes. "Family friendly" film, though, some of the themes may be a little "cerebral" for the younger viewers.

There are 3 reasons to see this film. 1) Well written, 2) Well acted, and 3) Sound design beyond what you normally expect for this type of film. Don't expect fast action or epic battles. This is a thinking person's sci-fi film.

Not in the Star Wars genre of scifi movies. More of a story about the characters with a twist at the end. Good acting. Glad I bought it so I can see it more than once to get all the plot.

Had heard great things about this movie and it did not disappoint! The acting and directing is top notch, and story and how it all comes together is innovative and pulls at your heart strings. Just a fantastic film all around

IF you like Science movies with Alien stuff get this show. I did not rate an excellent because you can wait till it hits the Premium channels and watch it then. It was GOOD not GREAT..

Interesting take on alien contact with trying to decipher how to communicate. The plot takes shortcuts on this concept though. Nevertheless, I thought it was good, but a bit overrated.

This movie Really Makes You Think about if we are alone or not. I would have like to of seen more interaction with the aliens, but I think we will see that in part two. Worth watching.

Though this film was well made overall. The acting well done and received. I didn't think there was a big enough wallop or punch to it all. Still a fun, decent and amusing picture.

Not your ordinary space alien movie . The special effects is excellent. Is not what you expect in a movie like this . Gotta pay attention as you watch it . Can it be really possible??

The story, while synthesized, was both thought provoking and an amazing construct of how the human race might interact with aliens. The actors were fantastic in conveying the movie's theme. Plus the scenes were gripping.

The movie starts out with an interesting premise and is intriguing, but as it progresses, it tends plot tends to fall apart. Until the last 30 minutes, the movie was entertaining.

After seeing this movie in the theater I knew I had to watch it again and again. This is not your typical science/fiction flick, it requires an open mind and open eyes, I.e. you have to pay attention. You will be rewarded.

Probably one one of the Best Sci-Fi movies I've seen in years. Instead of a shoot it up, it was intellectually challenging, used the concept of time well, and had great cinematic effect without lots of huge explosions.

Great actors and storyline. Gets you thinking hmm, how exactly would we communicate with alien beings... begin with the basic vocabulary and build up to concepts. Must see, oooh and the love story truly was a surprise!
