Arrival

A great movie experience

Last night, my friends and I decided to watch a movie just because we haven’t in a while. We picked Arrival starring Amy Adams and it was far from a disappointment.

I’m not one to read reviews before watching a movie, if the trailer and the gist of the story interests me, I’m watching it even if someone else says they didn’t like it. Truth is, opinion and interests differ so what they may not like, I may love!

So the movie, though it was not fast paced, it had me locked in the entire time! Amy Adams is great at what she does and she performed the hell out of her role. Now, for those who may not be familiar with the trailer, this movie is basically about 12 alien pods that landed on Earth and how a team of experts tried to figure out why the aliens were there. As is expected, not everyone reacted to the landing with as much interest as others, countries like Russia wanted to destroy them and citizens began to destroy each other. I’m not going to give it all away but there was an amazing twist to it all. I can’t say I’m surprised to know this was based on a short story.

All in all, I had a great night with my peeps and watched movie worth talking about. You should check it out!
