       How do I review Arrival without giving anything away? Well,
       without going into too much detail, with regards to the opening
       montage with Amy Adams and her kid that she loses to an illness,
       the framing device is for all intents and purposes a
       misdirection and it worked because I thought I had figured out
       the entire movie within those few minutes and then spent the
       rest of the movie trying to guess where my theory would come
       into play. Nope. That leads me to the twist ending and that too
       worked brilliantly because by the time you get to the end, I
       immediately started replaying the entire film in my mind because
       it now takes on a completely different take. So, with that out
       of the way, Arrival is a thinking man's "Alien Invasion" flick
       in which Amy and Jeremy Renner's character have to race against
       time to thwart an impending war by first teaching and then
       learning the Alien language to communicate with them. I highly
       recommend this for sure. I'd definitely watch this again. Wish
       we would have gotten more Forest Whitaker in this one.
