Movie No. 67 (2017): ARRIVAL
Arrival (2016)
Director: Denis Villeneuve
Cast: Amy Adams, Forest Whitaker, Jeremy Renner
Okay. This is science fiction. But, not the usual summer blockbuster science fiction. Its strength lies in its quirky script and narrative. Do I say cerebral? I like it when the a movies challenges or disturbs or tickles my brain cells. Amy Adams is terrific her performance is so affecting. The scenes leading to the ending are jaw dropping. Saw this a few weeks back; but, as of this writing I'm still in awe. I really like the message of the movie, or of "Abbott and Costello." And, I have to commend the technical quality - cinematography, sound, score - of the movie.
