...it ultimately seems apparent that the movie would've been well-served had it topped out at 90 minutes (ie it's too long and feels it).

[Sheen] spends most of the movie in a kind of sweaty apoplexy that makes one worry for his health.

The movie is as smart as ``Mission: Impossible'' is dumb.

A good premise, hampered by a weak ending.

You know a movie's in trouble when it's called The Arrival and nothing arrives -- the film's aliens are already here.

Less an alien invasion movie than a conspiracy film (it just hapens to turn out that the conspirators are aliens).

It's a strong, lean piece of writing that moves quickly. Nothing is wasted, and nothing happens the way you'd expect.

The aliens-among-us plot gets a very entertaining and inventive update.

A movie that shoehorns a blunt warning into its silly but entertaining story of a young radio astronomer's one-man battle against sinister extraterrestrials.

The CGI alien special effects are only so-so, but the film is rich in ideas, well-executed and is pleasingly entertaining even if silly.
