Arrival
yes its a beautiful and a bit emotional movie, based on a single incident. while i was watching the movie, i kinda felt like puzzled, cause they were showing glimpses of something, and it finally came out that, it was opposite of what i thought it would be.
kinda felt brain chewing
concept, nevertheless, it was an interesting concept, to find a way to communicate with alien octopuses (i always had great confidence in octopuses. i believe, had given the chances, they could have achieved some intelligent stuff themselves), who could have had different concept of communication level.amy adams worked nice.
i missed first ~5-10 mins of the movie, so my understanding might have been incomplete somewhere. anyways.
8-8.5 may be.

Well, it's not for everyone. Watch if you want a silly movie when high.

If there is just one 3D movie in 2016 that you should watch, it is FBWFT.
This movie does justice to 3D cinema as no movie has ever done. It may just be that the premise of the movie was fit for 3D viewing, but it is just beautiful. The beasts are outstandingly well and accurately rendered. The magic looks breathtakingly good in 3D and the cinematography is well done.
However, I would be more than happy if the duels were a bit more upto the mark. I am speaking about spells. If you are a fan of the spells and incantations, you will sorely miss them.
Acting is run of the mill. So is the sound/music.
Lore-wise, this is the first movie set in the Harry Potter universe that is not about Harry Potter, but there are quite a few [and one major] hints that directly refer to the original series. It would be rather interesting to see how this spin-off series evolves given that its is not based on an actual book/novel per se and you do not have the huge amount of details that can be found in the books and not in the movies.
Story-wise, JK Rowling has done a wonderful work with the script and story, and this movie is what The Cursed Child should have been.
Johnny Depp is there. :O
and he absolutely nails the mere 1-2 minutes that he is onscreen. That guy is a monster actor.

Allllright !
Arrival (2016)
[Can't rate yet 'coz I haven't understood it fully, have to rewatch]
I'll say this much in one sentence : This is exactly the kind of sci-fi movies I want to watch in the future.
This is 1000X better your run of the mill "alien" movies. Must watch if you're in for something fresh, especially if you liked 'Contact (1997)' and 'Interstellar (2016)'.
