I finally got around to watching Denis Villeneuve's 2016 film, ARRIVAL. The screenplay is based on a short story by Ted Chiang, and it feels a lot like an Arthur C. Clarke kind of story. In other words, there's something of the grand yet intimate classic science fiction stories of the golden age of scifi. A true "first contact" story with deep meaning, mystery, and socio-political questions. I feel it's a rather remarkable and excellent film.
