This movie utilizes some stellar sci-fi concepts, and Denis Villeneuve is a great director. There is a sublime kind of paranoia that runs through the stories that he presents to the screen. Arrival felt like a practice run for Blade Runner 2049, but the script fell short of the expectations that carried me through the movie. It was a gripping story with some angles that needed strong reveals, yet the ending just fell flat for me. For some viewers, it will feel like the perfect conclusion, but I wanted a different kind of twist.
