ARRIVAL (2016) Movie Trailers: Aliens Arrive, Humanity Sees, & Talks to Them

Amy Adams Arrival

Arrival Trailers

Arrival (2016) U.S. movie trailer and international movie trailer have been released for the Denis Villeneuve directed film. We previously published the extended TV trailer for this film. This is a very exciting trailer. I was blown away. I recently read  Ted Chiang‘s short story ‘The Story of Your Life‘ on which this film is based. This adaptation took almost everything in that short story and aggrandized it in a very satisfying way. This film looks incredible. The U.S. trailer was both thrilling and compelling. This film is The Martian for the last quarter for 2016. From the short story, I know that Arrival will pull violently on the heart-strings of the film’s viewers as well.

I love what they did with the aliens, their room, etc. I would have rather they did what was done in the short story a little more but that is the purist in me. The global threat presented in U.S. and international trailers (far more so in the latter) was effective as well.

When Jeremy Renner asked if Amy Adams had begun to dream in “their language” – Heptapod B – I began smiling. I can’t wait for this film.

They did a great job on the score for this film (reference the U.S. trailer) as well. It fits this drama like a glove and raises the stakes in all of the trailer’s scenes.

Arrival also Forest Whitaker, Michael Stuhlbarg, Mark O’Brien, Tzi Ma, Nathaly Thibault, Joe Cobden, Abigail Pniowsky, Julian Casey, Russell Yuen, Pat Kiely, Larry Day, Max Walker, and Frank Fiola.

 Arrival‘s plot synopsis: “When mysterious spacecrafts touch down across the globe, an elite team – lead by expert linguist Louise Banks (Amy Adams) – is brought together to investigate. As mankind teeters on the verge of global war, Banks and the team race against time for answers – and to find them, she will take a chance that could threaten her life, and quite possibly humanity.”
