Keeping this in consideration, what is arrival about the movie?
Linguistics professor Louise Banks (Amy Adams) leads an elite team of investigators when gigantic spaceships touch down in 12 locations around the world. As nations teeter on the verge of global war, Banks and her crew must race against time to find a way to communicate with the extraterrestrial visitors. Hoping to unravel the mystery, she takes a chance that could threaten her life and quite possibly all of mankind.
Furthermore, what are the aliens in arrival? On board, Banks and Donnelly make contact with two seven-limbed aliens, whom they call heptapods; Donnelly nicknames them Abbott and Costello. They both begin researching the complex written language of the aliens, made of palindrome phrases written with circular symbols, and share results with other nations.
Also asked, is arrival a horror movie?
The film is based upon the Nebula Award-winning novella Story of Your Life by Ted Chiang, which is not a horror story in the slightest. But the movie certainly isn't meant to be scary, and its main purpose instead is to get you thinking.
