Arrival (II) (2016)

 A linguist works with the military to communicate with alien lifeforms after twelve mysterious spacecraft appear around the world.Linguistics professor Louise Banks leads an elite team of investigators when gigantic spaceships touchdown in 12 locations around the world. As nations teeter on the verge of global war, Banks and her crew must race against time to find a way to communicate with the extraterrestrial visitors. Hoping to unravel the mystery, she takes a chance that could threaten her life and quite possibly all of mankind. During the sequence showing satellite views of the Shell landing spots it is shown that the UK site is above the village of Kingswear in South Devon. The image used is from Google Maps with the Shell added over the hill to the southeast of the village. However, the poster advertising the movie shows a reversed image of Mortehoe and Woolacombe beach, in North Devon for the locations of the UK Shell. Believe the hype because Arrival was great! The film was able to pay omoge to other Sci-Fi films while remaining it own thing. The way the story is told is much different from other Sci-Fi movies involving extra terrestrials such as Independence Day, which makes the film all the interesting. The way the score was used was also fantastic, and will stay in your head long after you have seen it. The performances in the movie particularly Amy Adams were all very good. The film also had implications and subtitles that will stick with you as well. The film manages to be smart without making the plot overly complex while still remaining fun. The only real issues I can find in this film is that there are convenices, as well as a bit to much chesse in some areas, but it never ditracted from my enjoyment of the movie. Overall I highly recommend you check this movie out and I'm giving Arrival an 8/10!
