Review of Arrival (2016) by Les L — 27 Feb 2017
...where do I start?...I initially gave this less of a rating, but on subsequent viewings gave it a higher rating...yet, I only watched it once...brilliant......spoiler alert for those who gave this a low and some with a high rating.
....aliens give a gift of their language for the purpose of a future alliance and help them in 3000 years time..this alien language is so mind altering it causes the ability for the mind to time travel.
..the lead character then experiences the skills to comprehend this highly advanced Communication in an efficient, but necessary time traveling mind loop......all this sits in a regular American movie narrative on politics and human behaviour yet also juggles a heart wrenching personal tragedy all of which would ultimately become manageable with such a powerful weapon,thought.
..the pen being mightier then the sword perhaps...and decently acted...lol...
