One of the best movies of 2016, Arrival received eight Oscar nominations, including Best Picture and Best Actress for Amy Adams. This has to be the best movie for Adams in her career who plays a linguist named Louise Banks. She is dealing with the cancer diagnosis that is going to claim her young daughter’s life. While speaking at a college, alien spaceships come to Earth and the U.S. Army asks Louise and physicist Ian Donnelly (Jeremy Renner) to decipher the alien language and try to figure out what they want and why there are here.

Through her research, Louise begins to have visions of her and her daughter. She later learns why she is having those visions and what it means. I can’t reveal anything more otherwise I’d spoil the key plot points in the movie. I will say this, though, you know w movie nominated for Best Picture is going to be worth watching on DVD. Take the Academy Award nomination to heart and trust that this is a must-see movie.
