Arrival, I think is better than Sicario but I still wanted more from Villeneuve, and I'm not sure why. I don't really know where these expectations came from.

Aliens Who Come In Peace (25 movies items)"Well, the millenium's answer to the 1997 sci-fi thinker Contact, has made it's arrival. And just like the Jodie Foster movie, this one deals with a more "realistic" approach to Earth's first contact with extraterrestrials, encompassing the struggle between peaceful approaches of communication and the "better safe than sorry" attitude from the more militarily minded.
