Just finished watching The Arrival.
I liked it, one of my favorite aspects of the film was that the director didn't needed used an armed conflict between the humans and aliens in order to keep the audience invested. Each time our characters interact with the aliens, who remain covered in mist for most of the screen time, we as the audience gain something new in the form of knowledge and discovery rather than an action set piece like we are accustomed to.
In other words (spoilers?), unlike in most movies where the aliens come to do harm and invade us, these specific aliens are benevolent beings who want to help humanity, because they believe the humans might help them in return in the next hundred years.
The characters are another strong point, they are not treated as cliché plot devices but are just real people who just want answers to this situation. Another strong point is how the movie handles the subject of language and how it can actually affect the way we see the world.
Happy 10th anniversary to Zack Snyder's 300! Just found out the movie is based off a comic book.
THIS. IS. SPARTA!
