“The Arrival” is a great concept so slow that a snail would fall asleep before it’s over. I’m sure there is a powerful message but I was so bored by the story telling that I forgot what it is. I have no clue why this was even nominated for best movie of the year except that those in the nominating process must have had good dreams while they were watching this film. Yes it’s artistic but watching paint dry is artistic as well. “The Arrival” should be a place you shouldn’t go to because it’s better to be lost.
