Customer Ratings & Reviews

Not your typical movie. It is not about brains but imagination. It is our best Dad /Daughter Weekend Movie.

Although the story progress a bit slow, it heightens the overall suspense. Well constructed flow of events playing with the element of time unfolding the un-thought known for the viewer.

Over all it was a good movie, not as epic as all the commercials made it sound. I feel like there was a HUGE jump in time from when they arrived and they first started understanding their language to them having a whole book and computer system developed that would translate everything they were saying. Just wish there was more meat to the plot. Overall, eh, it was okay. Not a movie I will watch again which is disappointing because I purchased it! Ha. Ugh...

I haven't had chance to watch this yet but with all the rave reviews and being a fan of sci-fi this movie seems like a modern day Close Encounters.

One of my top 5 movies so getting it for $5 was a dream. Love getting to show people this movie just to see their minds get blown.

I wasn't expecting much from this but I was blown away. It's not your typical alien movie and it definitely worth watching. I suggest going in with as little information as possible.

Well-acted alien-arrival story with time travel twist. Stays with you after you watch it.

The non-linear way we get to view this movie is what makes it so special. It belongs in the upper echelon of modern film, and was definitely the best film of 2016, in my opinion.

One of the best science fiction movies in a long time. Arrival is a contemplative meditation on language, time, trust and ultimately, love. It will make you think. Highly recommended.

Was a film I bought because of the hype and found it was worth it. All the performances were impressive. This film is a drama so not what you are looking for if you want action packed.

This movie really challenged me while viewing and after. Thought I saw what was coming ....some but not near all. Made me think long after viewing. Have already watched a third time.

Saw this in theaters first. Interesting, thoughtful, and likely realistic portrayal of how first contact with advanced alien visitors might happen.

This is a weird movie. All the actors do a great job. Film has a nice look to it. A feel good ending.

Overall good movie interesting plot line I would recommend renting first before buying. Not sure I would end up watching this multiple times however

Many Sci fi movies are heavy with special effects and action to spice up the story. This movie is a true sci-fi flick for your mind. The special effects are used to support the story.

Love this movie! is so different specially the space ship, completely a new look from the usual. The best part is that you learn at the end how the sequence of events really happened.

This is an awesome movie based on the linguistics of Aliens! Love this take on an alien movie

I watched this movie not knowing what to expect and was very pleased. It is a wonderful film with a great story and terrific acting all around.

Really great take on the "First Contact" theme and one of the best so far. It really is worth seeing!

Had not seen this when it was in the theaters. Purchased it with a chance to see what all the hype was concerning it. I was captivated throughout it. Some what of a suprise ending.
