Arrival
SCORE: 68
If you watched the FFG Haul Black Friday 2017 video then you know
Arrival is one of the movies we picked up. If you missed that video and
want to know what other products are slated for review in the coming
months then please click
here. I knew
this movie was a first contact situation with aliens that came to Earth.
Which brings up all kinds of questions.
Arrival gives the aliens God-like abilities. There are people on our
planet who worship aliens as their religion. So it should not surprise
us to see that from Holly Weird. Arrival is generally dark and dreary
looking. The aliens seem almost demonic in some ways. They definitely
create a fearful reaction in others. Arrival also preaches about coming
to together and stopping war.
SPOILER ALERT! There is one concept in Arrival that tries to blow our
minds. That concept is the aliens are not constrained by linear time.
They can see the future. They pass this ability on to a linguist. Or
maybe she learns it by learning their language. Which is circles with
weird blotches in different places. The concept of being outside of time
has been one discussed within the church for a long time. God is outside
of time.
Amy Adams, Jeremy Renner, and Forest Whitaker star in Arrival. There is
a moment where horrible bad language is used. It is really not needed in
my opinion. The laws of physics do not apply to certain parts of
Arrival. Nor does contamination, and breathable atmosphere. Arrival
plays fast and loose with reality in a few parts. Being able to go into
the future to get knowledge you need in the past is an interesting
concept.
Arrival felt so depressing in so many parts. I wish Arrival had been
more upbeat at times. The reactions by different nations at certain
points in the story did not make much sense to me. Plus how do they know
they could actually do the alien vehicles any damage? Arrival will mess
with your mind from the beginning. When you figure it out, you will have
an Ah-ha moment. Then never watch this movie again.
