The Denis Villeneuve film Arrival may seem like another sci-fi film where huge random rocks seem to descended from the sidewalks of Heaven and levitate like the angels that kicked them down. However, is much more than just mere imagination; Arrival deals with the idea of what would happen if a different life form met earth and its humans. How could we communicate with Aliens? Communication continues to be one of the biggest problem that humanity faces; no, this is not your 10 o’clock morning English class, but a worldwide dilemma. To start off, the film is imperative for Embry-Riddle students who enjoy the subjects of science, space, and flight to watch. Reviewing a movie is not easy; sometimes it requires you to watch the film multiple times

She notices on the news that extra-terrestrial figures have landed not only in the U.S. but around the world, at first Louise seems to want to keep to herself and not have anything to do with the aliens, until a U.S. army general barges into her office and asks her to translate an alien recording. Unable to decipher what the recording meant from the recording device Louise soon finds herself on a military chopper to Montana to see the aliens. The helicopter is where the Theoretical analyst Ian is introduced he is assigned to Louise to help work on alien translation.

The quality of film was amazing; The cinematography was intelligently put together. The tone of the story was mostly a concerned curiousness as the main characters constantly needed to know something, for example; what can the aliens do? should the army attack? Can we figure out their language? Why am I seeing visions? The composer did a good job with the music choice if you enjoyed the Interstellar sound track you’ll love this one.

Yes, the movie is literally 2 hours long, however because of the interesting story line it kept my eyes glued to the huge screen and this is coming from someone who falls asleep after 5 minutes of no action in
