Really? I'm surprised you found it boring... I was mesmerized right from the very beginning.
Then again, I knew *nothing at all* about this moving going into it, except that it was about aliens. I was really surprised at how much I enjoyed it. I loved the story, the acting, the VFX, the sound , etc. I especially love how it was shot.
And wow!!!! Its nominated for 8 Oscars!
Arrival - Awards - IMDb
I didn't know that until just now.
I don't know if its best movie of the year or best directing etc, but I would say maybe Best Cinematography?
Anyway, if you like Sci-Fi and are tired of the senseless action sub-genre and want some good brain candy, Check out Arrival. Worth seeing in the theatre.
