Review of The Arrival (1996) by James Berardinelli for ReelViews — 19 Oct 2004
While this particular film doesn't boast any radical or surprising ideas, it combines numerous familiar plot elements into a suspenseful, entertaining whole. Best of all, perhaps, is the realization that some thought went into writer/director David Twohy's script.
This is not a dumb movie; in fact, with its heavy reliance upon real science, it's startlingly credible.
