THE REVIEW

Space-themed films from different solar systems are often made a typical dish. Often told by the theme of massive invasion and destruction, or satirical comedy, to the most remembered as the family drama in Steven Spielberg's legendary E.T.the Extra-Terrestrial. But this is not the case with the recent work of Denis Villeneuve (Sicario, Prisoners). Arrival Arranged, this Canadian filmmaker unravels alien fantasy-themed science fiction with so different and gives extraordinary sensation after watching it.

Installing Amy Adams as her main figure, Arrival began her plot with a scene that seemed to be a flashback from the history of Louise Banks, a linguist who Adams was playing. Continue to daily Louise who worked as a lecturer, until suddenly an alien oval-shaped aircraft appeared and occupied twelve different locations on earth. Thanks to an extraordinary resume in the past with the US military, Louise was then flown to Montana and studying communications with the Heptapods; Alien tangible like a giant tentacle giant, in his mission Louise is also accompanied by scientist Ian Donnelly (Jeremy Renner). Met with two alien figures named Abbott and Costello (from the name of Hollywood comedian duo at Golden Era) and began communicating with them on a regular basis, Louise gradually realized the true purpose of the aliens' arrival to earth.

Arrival is a movie made so neatly, Villeneuve randomly disguises some scenes as a flashback in his narrative, but as he revoves his main story he never loses focus. Although initially running quite slow and a little dull, Arrival still do the approach slowly but surely. We have never been given a vivid picture of the alien's arrival from many points of view, and Villeneuve only shares Louise's point of view with his audience so that it builds on its own tension and many mysteries. The scene of Louise and his team when they first set foot inside an alien plane and their first meeting was able to make a shudder, especially with Johann Johannsson's musical support that was so disturbing and uncomfortable. However, who would have thought that the flow continues Villeneuve lead us to a conclusion that is so emotional and slightly reminiscent of the Tree of Life of Terrence Malick.

Arrival is also an exhibition of upscale plays from Adams, which is very limited to the screen and play nicely. So substantial are the supporting actors as a supplement to the story, which fortunately remains an important part of Villeneuve. The game of alien singing symbols (shaped like the Ouroboros) to the parrots in the cage is interesting enough to be listened to, as the camera viewing angle taken by Villeneuve looks unusual still enthralling. But only the most remarkable of Arrival is Villeneuve's simple scientific fiction, he simply packs a humanity drama within the complexities of science. The time paradox that became the key to the plot also held Villeneuve quite simply and could not stand at the end of his narration. Medium, one of the motives of the aliens are still made confusing and shrinking until the film credits rolling. 

Arrival is ultimately an amazing science fiction film in his so humane and emotionally depleted speech but plays his logic, although executed with a simple yet deep and contemplative settlement. Leaving the old traces in the body after watching it and making us contemplate life. And for that Villeneuve worth the applause as high.
