Consider editing your comment to not mention anything spoiler related. I feel the movie hits different if you’re not expecting anything.

Arrival is truly a masterpiece though. I won’t forget it as long as I live.

Don't know if you have but may I recommend reading the original novel from Ted Chiang named "Story of your life"? It's a bit different from the movie but still incredibly mind bending.

Also, any novel from the collection "Story of your life and others"[1] is worth reading and thinking about. Ted Chiang is an exceptional writer.

Thanks for the recommendation. I bought this book in December, will get to it soon.
Too late to edit now unfortunately. I had tried to word it so it wasn't spoilery, I guess I failed on that.
