Given the trailer it should be a solid 7-8/10 (looks well adapted).


That's -very- optimistic of you. It all rests on what happens after all the scenes of people staring in awe.

Looks really promising

Just in case anyone missed it, there was an awesome documentary about just this;

There's a rip out
Just don't download the awful horror movie of the same name - search with "alien encounter" included

100% so far.

Quote:
Arrival delivers a must-see experience for fans of thinking person's sci-fi that anchors its heady themes with genuinely affecting emotion and a terrific performance from Amy Adams.


Sounds great. And the director's next movie is Blade Runner 2049... Very Happy

Meanwhile I suggest you read the short story 'Story Of Your Life' by Ted Chiang which the movie is based on

Just 9 bucks on Amazon for digital. Awesome read.

They do that in Italy also? I thought only ze Germans couldn't read subs.

@Neon: Some user reviews complain about the movie being slow and boring. Can you comment on that?

It is a bit of a slow-burn with almost no action scenes, but boring? No way. The movie has an intelligent and touching story to tell and isn't afraid to take its time telling it. Plus, everything aside from the story is just fantastic: the acting, the cinematography, the soundtrack. Go see it if you're a fan of thoughtful sci-fi.
