A truly never ending saga of finding hope among loss, fear and loneliness. Recommended for adults. Never mind the special effects seem a bit dated. Lewis Carrol didn't use urban slang to get Alice down the rabbit hole.

With clear allusions to the biblical holocaust, the film disappoints largely, despite some philosophic one liners on the mankind's ability to evolve. Could have been a better fare.

It was bit of a let down after finishing the book in in sitting, as with most fiction that was made into movies. Nevertheless, an unforgettable parable of what it means to be human, existence, values, hopes, despair. A must-see for all from a scientist-story teller.

Is that a myth, a kick-ass movie to beat'm all, a legend? It's...Superman!

The dialogues are the redeeming part of this flick - ' all those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain'. Touche.

A deceptively low key trailer: if it leaves you with a wave of mixed emotions about our conflicts, inner and outer when you depart the movie hall, you have seen the Arrival. There is a dialogue which sums up the heart of this movie - ' Language is the foundation of civilization. It is the glue that holds a people together. It is the first weapon drawn in a conflict.' Amen.

Decades after, the Close Encounters amazes with its overture set at present day. Present day indeed, forever relevant in a hopeful fashion. Perhaps if there are folks out there, they might not be as insane as us?
