Some movies challenge the way you think about the world, and “Arrival” is one of those for me. I didn’t know what to expect the first time I watched it (I didn’t even watch the trailer). But I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed it. Years later I’ve come to appreciate this masterpiece more, and I’m happy it’s being given the chance to shine again on a free streaming service.
It’s important to note that “Arrival” isn’t just another alien encounter movie. Instead it focuses on much more emotional themes like time and the power of choice, all while being stunning and incredibly atmospheric. This sci-fi drama intertwines personal and global stakes, exploring how understanding the alien language changes perceptions of reality and offers insights into the future.
