What's all the hype about "Arrival" ???

What a piece of shit.

Started off interesting, good photography, decent acting, slow 'intense' camera work (shot by a new film student, all these films look the same now.) Basic premise of: 'government needs help from the local woman' that knows how to translate foreign languages, to help save the world, Wow, she is so unique. YAWN.

then...

gets so slow and borderline BORING....

then picked up a little bit.... then....

GETS EVEN SLOWER DURING THE 2ND ACT (HUGE MISTAKE)

Not to give away too much, but Squids?? Really??? These intense super beings are fucking overgrown squids?? LOL They're really running out of ideas for creating aliens. They even 'shot ink' just like squids. It's like the writer saw some ocean sea life documentary and it stuck in his head.

How about, creating something NEW that we don't have here on Earth?? We already have squids.
This movie stunk of Independence day, big oval ships landing all around the planet, including similar aliens. Oh well....

Then, it twisted into some kind of sad love story and left you hanging with no answers and NO ENDING. I like the whole 'writing and language' thing, but do something with it all!!! Don't just END the film.

It's like the writer had an interesting premise, then DIDN'T FINISH THE SCRIPT.

A HUGE WASTE OF TIME. ARRIVAL, I WANT MY VIDEO RENTAL FEE RETURNED!!!

Fuck.

oh, last gripe.... They have to bring in canaries??? Really??? Top high end scientists with the best equipment and they bring in birds to make sure the air is breathable and there is no radiation or other nastiness in the air?? Is this a 1950's Godzilla movie??? LOL

Now, I can say it... FUCK.
