Arrival

I've seen this movie a few times, and I have to say I enjoyed it the least most recently. Not that the movie is bad, not at all, it's a really good movie for many reasons. However, there are a few flaws that stood out to me. For one, the cgi actually didn't hold up as well as I remember in a few spots. The visuals are still very good however. The concept and execution of the story are pretty good, but I think the movie ends a little abruptly. It feels like the writers hit the fast forward button on the second act. The characters are pretty good, but I do wish there was a bit more development on that front. I think this movie is really cool in general, the concept is interesting, the soundtrack is subtle but nice, and the story is good. Definitely not the best Denis movie, but still very good and an enjoyable watch.
