'Arrival' tells the story about alien spaceships landing on Earth, and linguist Louise Banks (Amy Adams) and physicist Ian Donnelly (Jeremy Renner) are recruited by US Army in order to communicate and understand the purpose of their arrival. With the film's non-linear storytelling, the sci-fi elements are just backdrops to tell the bigger story - what sparks civilisation? does language affect the way of thinking? This is an intelligent philosophical story and that resonates with your inner search. It also leaves you thinking a lot after leaving the cinema.
