If you have not yet seen 'Arrival', I urge you to do so ASAP [View all]

Science fiction that makes you think past the usual thud and blunder.
Takes every thing you've seen from in the usual "OMG, extraterrestrials are here"
onscreen treatments and bins them- think "Solaris" or the original
"The Day The Earth Stood Still".

Added on edit: Amy Adams is the heart and soul of this movie, and I will be
sorely disappointed if she doesn't win an Academy Award for this.
