Arrival Review

Different. That is the only way I can describe Arrival.

The 'Arrival' of a dozen or so UFOs on earth sparks a major frenzy, and the US government takes the help of a high school language professor and physicist to communicate with the aliens. Their ultimate goal is to find out why they paid Earth a visit. The difficulty- the aliens use a different language, of course, and it is nothing like anything humans have ever seen.

The movie is different from other mainstream alien movies. The language bit is very interesting to follow. But I felt the direction to be lacking, several scenes were a bit too slow, and the twist ending could've been shown a bit better.

Overall, it was a solid watch.
