IMDB Summary:A linguist is recruited by the military to assist in translating alien communications. IMDB
Tonight's special was a movie that I've been looking forward to seeing for awhile. I would put Arrival in the scyfy thriller category. Normally I'm not super into scyfy/fantasy stuff but I saw a lot of trailers and I got excited and interested to see it.
Arrival stars Amy Adams as a college professor who teaches about linguistics. She's familiar with every language, even those dating back before English was developed. One morning, during her class she finds out that there is a worldwide panic because 12 unidentified ships of some sort have landed in random places across the globe. While every one goes into a panic, a general of the army shows up at her office to recruit her to talk to these "aliens". They fly her there and have her interact with the aliens trying to figure out their purpose on earth. There's a lot of plot twists and the final twist will either leave you extremely confused or sum it all up and make perfect sense. You gotta pay attention close to figure it out.
I LOVED THIS MOVIE. Seriously one of the best scyfy movies I've seen. They did an excellent job of making it realistic, scaring the crap out of you, confusing you throughout, while also having you leave in wonder of what you just watched. I definitely recommend.
My Rating: 10/10
Awesome! I have seen previews of this as well and went back and forth, so maybe I'll add it to my watchlist!
