Popcorn vs Kernel

5 Popcorns = Must see!
4 Popcorns = You'll probably like it.
3 Popcorns = Go in the morning when there are cheaper ticket prices.
2 Popcorns = Maybe rent it.
1 Popcorn = Wait for a friend to rent it and watch it with them.
Kernel = Don't see it at all. Ever.

Arrival (2016)






Directed by: Denis Villeneuve

Written by: Eric Heisserer & Ted Chiang (story)

Starring: Amy Adams, Jeremy Renner, & Forest Whitaker




I thought this films was great...except the ending.  I really liked how it was thought provoking and had the aliens in a different light (sort of).

Louise Banks (Adams) is the best linguist around.  When aliens arrive on Earth, she is called to figure out how to communicate with them to determine what they want.

Amy Adams played a great linguist and I thought the story line was interesting.  Especially the way she figured out the language.  The story was realistic enough to believe, and there was a twist towards the end, but the twist I figured out at the beginning of the film, so it was not some big surprise.

I was not too thrilled with Renner's character, but he played it well I guess.

That's pretty much all to report.  4 popcorns.
