caprica1999 Great premise. Loved it. Smart. I was captivated for a good chunk of it. I love sci-fi.Jesus! Did that kid Kiki have to have his mouth open the ENTIRE movie? He and Charlie Sheen are tToo long. Last 30 minutes is annoying.Worth a look. Got it for $5 so worth it.

Terryfan You know history is always interesting when you look back on things. I remember going into this movie with my family to see it. But the thing was I never seen any previews or trailers for the film nor did I recall ever hearing about The Arrival until we arrived at the theater to see it.A movie that cast Charlie Sheen, Lindsay Crouse, Richard Schiff, Ron Silver, Teri Polo and many more. It still amazing to me how they all got cast for this movie but they were the only ones who could have brought this movie to attention.The Arrival brings us the good old 90s Sci/FI story telling along with a thriller feel to it as well. The movie just actually features enough interest and the characters were actually important to the plot.The music in the film can be tense at times but it matches the whole feel of the movie. The acting is actually good, there were some comedy bits that I remember everyone in the theater laugh and it help keeps the movie interesting. One of the films that unless you were in the theater when it was release it's not easy to describe because the film was just one that quite unexpected and you never know what would happened next because it had you on the edge of your seat It just one of those rare movies that you have to just sit down and watch to better understand it because only a few words can best fit it.If you enjoy 90s movies or are looking for those movies that you can't guess at then give this one a shot you might be surprised how it turns outI give the Arrival an 7 out of 10

S E It is not as bad as some writes in their reviews. Charlie Sheen is not a super great actor, and never has been, but he pulls it off good enough. The other actors are not bad either. Sometimes the script feels weak, but most of the time it's OK. I really enjoyed it and I'm glad that I went against the reviews and gave it a chance although I hesitated at first.It's not as good as Contact, but not that far away. Give it a chance if you like Contact and other sci-fi flicks of that kind. I've seen a lot of worse movies with higher score than this one, that's for sure. It's not Alien, but it's not species-bad either.

Harriet Deltubbo The setup: Zane, an astronomer, discovers intelligent alien life. But the aliens are keeping a deadly secret, and will do anything to stop Zane from learning it.The verdict: This movie is so '90s that it hurts! From an artistic standpoint, there were some plot elements and character developments I didn't think were totally needed. They do however drive the story, which seemed to be their purpose, so I can accept them. I finished this film wondering, "Are we alone?" After reading some of the negative reviews on here, I just have to say that some people really don't get it.
