CRITICS OF "The Arrival"

Capital Times (Madison, WI)

The aliens-among-us plot gets a very entertaining and inventive update.

October 29, 2004

San Francisco Chronicle

It's a strong, lean piece of writing that moves quickly. Nothing is wasted, and nothing happens the way you'd expect.

June 18, 2002

Ozus' World Movie Reviews

The CGI alien special effects are only so-so, but the film is rich in ideas, well-executed and is pleasingly entertaining even if silly.

Entertainment Weekly

[Sheen] spends most of the movie in a kind of sweaty apoplexy that makes one worry for his health.

You know a movie's in trouble when it's called The Arrival and nothing arrives -- the film's aliens are already here.

October 14, 2005

Cinefantastique

Less an alien invasion movie than a conspiracy film (it just hapens to turn out that the conspirators are aliens).

April 21, 2009

Reel Film Reviews

...it ultimately seems apparent that the movie would've been well-served had it topped out at 90 minutes (ie it's too long and feels it).

September 25, 2002

eFilmCritic.com

A good premise, hampered by a weak ending.

May 12, 2003

ReelViews

This is not a dumb movie; in fact, with its heavy reliance upon real science, it's startlingly credible.

January 01, 2000

Resource

Time Out

What it lacks in sophistication (everything), it partly makes up for in sheer gall.

February 09, 2006

Resource

New York Times

A movie that shoehorns a blunt warning into its silly but entertaining story of a young radio astronomer's one-man battle against sinister extraterrestrials.

January 01, 2000

Resource

Chicago Sun-Times

The movie is as smart as ``Mission: Impossible'' is dumb.
