The Good, the Bad and the Alien Communicator:

• Alien invasion movies are so overrated and the formula is almost, always basically the same. But somehow, "Arrival" manages to find an entirely fresh angle to focus on and deliver the whole story.

• What sets this film apart from others in the genre is the way that it plays with the notion of time, memory, love and the essence of being human.

• The characters are also one of the reasons why this film works as they are not treated as mere cliche plot devices, but realistic people who crave for an answer.

• Five-time Oscar nominee Amy Adams carries out her role wonderfully in this film with a sense of dignified vulnerability, and this film might just grant her her first Academy Award.

Trivia:

• The original name for the film was "Story of Your Life."
