Customer Ratings & Reviews

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.

After seeing “Dune” I wanted to revisit this one. Denis is one of my favorite directors today and his films aren’t just SciFi. It’s smart story telling!

This was an entertaining and smart movie. The characters were engaging even though a few times it got a little dry. The conclusion was good and overall, a quite enjoyable movie.

The movie, Arrival, is one for twists. You will enjoy how the movie progresses to reach the end, which will be something to wrap your mind around. This movie has a different way to grab its audience who will find the ending worthwhile.

Visuals top notch, sound, ominous and chilling, a hyper-intelligent sci-fi film with top notch acting. The 4K treatment makes it real. A must have!

Without giving it away, it has quite a story that is unconventional in how it is told. If you pay close attention closely to what is on the screen, you might figure out what the big twist is before the end where the twist is revealed.

Very intellectual first contact movie. A little slow but still worth watching. Can see how it was nominated for Best Picture. Don't go here if your looking for Independence Day (or Alien).

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.

This was a great movie it really made me think I saw it once in theaters and didn't completely understand it it has taken me 3 different times to watch it to fully understand what's going on this is one of my favorite movie of 2016

Saw this movie at the theater and grabbed it up when I saw it at the store. It is an excellent movie in the Close Encounters genre. It is well-acted and the personal "backgrounds" of the main characters are very well crafted.

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!

This movie was really well done, definitely deserved all the accolades it got during award season. We have a nice blu-ray home theater setup, so the music and the sound effects were fantastic. Definitely worth the price of admission.

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.

This is a great movie in 4K, it tests the black levels on your TV and the sound really gets your subwoofer moving. I saw this in the theater as well, not your typical alien invasion movie. Well worth a second or third viewing!

The movie was very good. As a HDR reference, not so much because of the atmospheric nature of the movie. It's a bit of a dreary, gray mostly. Buy for content, not for a 4K HDR reference.

Definitely not an action movie like Independence Day. I loved it, just my kind of movie. I'd rather have a movie make me think rather than just throw big explosions at me. The 4K with HDR gives great deep blacks on this dark movie.

Arrival is rare movie that comes along once in awhile that hits on most points without being full of inappropriate content. It's a cerebral film that was executed very very well. You feel motivated to learn after watching the 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.

I had no idea what the movie was about other than it had aliens. Two friends said to watch it. I bought and have viewed it a couple of times now. Really good performance by Amy Adams and Jeremy Renner. I highly recommend this movie.

EASILY one of the most emotionally and intellectually moving films I have ever seen. An absolute must have for any collection no matter your preference.
