Hollywood’s Latest Alien Blockbuster Looks Intense [Trailer]

Hollywood seems to have moved on from alien movies to superhero movies, but our first look at 'Arrival' means it could well be one to watch.

Folks in Hollywood know when they’re on to a good thing, like how these average superhero movies just keep on raking in the cash.

Big sci-fi alien movies also tend to do pretty well – and whilst it’s Independence Day: Resurgence that is grabbing headlines, Arrival looks like it may be worth a watch when it hits cinemas (mid-November in the UK and U.S.).

Starring Amy Adams, Jeremy Renner and Forest Whitaker, here’s IMDB with a brief overview:

When mysterious spacecraft touch down across the globe, an elite order bactrim team – lead by expert linguist Louise Banks – are 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.

Personally I feel aliens would leave almost immediately after touching down out of disgust, but if they did hang around I suppose we’d need some expert linguists to save the day.
