Is the arrival worth watching?
Arrival takes the basic template of a “first contact with aliens” story and turns it into an exciting and unique visual spectacle, as well as a thoughtful exploration of what it means to be human. For those reasons, and more, we nominate Arrival as the best sci-fi movie of all time.
