Arrival was probably one of those most peaceful alien "invasions" in cinema.

"Monsters Ink"... chef kiss👌

The aliens' actions in Arrival make a lot more sense when you realize that thanks to their non-linear view of time, they knew everything would turn out fine before everything started.

This is what got me into Denis Villeneuve films, and it's still one of my favorites of his. This is one of the rare movies where the plot twist adds to the rewatchability to the movie. It just hits a lot harder the second time you see the movie, and you know where it's headed.

This movie is so good they could barely make any jokes about it

1:14 In the Estonian translation they were called Batman and Robin.

The way the aliens perceive time in Arrival is so mind-blowing, it really makes you think about the concept of time itself.

This was the movie that made me a fan of Denis Villeneuve. Visuals, music and the mind blowing ending. Such a good film

Thank you for shouting-out Ted Chiang. He's amazing. The story this movie is based on (Story of Your Life) is my favorite piece of fiction.

It's a crime that Amy Adams hasn't won an Oscar yet. She's been nominated dozens of times, but nary a single win. I hope that she'll eventually take home the trophy one day. 🏆🙏

Arrival might just be the best-written sci-fi film of all time. One of the only times the alien characters felt truly "alien"

Ted Chiang writes some awesome stuff, I agree 100% with that ending!

"I forgot how good it felt to be held by you." me: wtf, crying, throwing up

The Dune guy really knows how to make his shots look otherworldly!

I feel like they had "monsters ink" first and worked from there.

It’s also worth noting that this is the film that introduced much of the world to neoclassical composer Max Richter and his beautifully haunting piece “On the Nature of Daylight”, which itself was from his album “The Blue Notebooks”, which he made in protest of the start of the Iraq War. Fitting, isn’t it?

I watched this movie just because of Denis Villeneuve I hope he gets to adapt "Rendezvous with Rama" because I can't picture anyone better than him for the job

Easily the best film of 2016. It's a thought-provoking film and very underrated.

“Aliens who only speak in coffee mug stains” 😂😂😂😂😂😂

I thought because Amy Adams knew she was going to have a daughter that eventually died, she could decide whether or not to take that path, and she decided the short amount of years of having her daughter was worth it, and thats why I love this movie. It reminds me of Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind in that regard and the theme of its better to love and lose than never to have loved at all.

Love this movie. I am so glad that I saw it in theaters. The sound design of this film blew my mind. Also, look up the collaboration between the screenwriter and director on Arrival. It really showed my how much care and craft Villeneuve puts into his films.

I just realised there is no honest trailer for 'Enchanted' (2007). Like, how? 🙃

I saw this in theaters, and my first thought was that this guy might be able to tackle Dune.

Resting Overwhelmed Face is me every day trying to survive life on this planet lol

This is one of those movies that stays with you for days after you watch it.

Amy Adams doesn't get nearly enough credit for her performance in Arrival. Or in general.

I usually go to this channel for movies I'm never ever going to see. It's great to see that they can do any equally fantastic job with movies I love.

Arrivals was and is still one of my favorite sci-fi films, I watch it at least once a year. Great, great film.

The monsters inc and words with friends bit at the end was gold 😂

One of my favorite movies ❤

Super impressed how much SJ raised their game for the caliber of the movie. Had me at second language.

In your epic voice please say, "Activate inter-lock! Dyna-therms connected! Infra-cells up! Mega-thrusters are go! Let's go, Voltron Force!!!"

Absolutely based shoutout to Ted Chiang. I feel like filmmakers should be challenging themselves to see who can actually do a proper adaptation of his works. I want to see someone do the one where two people take a super intelligence pill and basically strangle each other with their pheromones.

The first sci-fi movie I’ve seen where the aliens weren’t the villains

Hands down, this is one of my favorite movies. And the short story it's based on is good, too.

"Giant salad fingers who hot box the back of their spaceship." Absolute Gold.

I was a fairly new Dad when I saw this film. Nearly broke me.

Please do an Honest Trailer for Lethal Weapon!

The short story by Ted Chiang is amazing. I also really liked the Tower of Babylon from the same setp

Underrated film

According to Arrival, this trailer was made before the movie.

We need an Honest Trailer for this year's Oscars!

Monsters, Ink is the top tier goodness we have come for

The whole premise of the short story this is based on is a clever play on classical mechanics. Lagrange gives you the positions and velocities of everything at the start and you figure the trajectories out from there. Hamilton on the other hand gives you just the positions, but at the start and at the end. These two descriptions of the world are equivalent in how much information they give us and thus, we can calculate the same trajectories from both.

Please say "Who abandoned Snoopy in the vestibule?!"

So, they chose her because she understands Farsi? They could just go to LA, and select any random Iranian.

I nearly hyperventilated at "Monsters Ink"

One of the best movies I've ever seen. Loved it so much.

This could be the best movie of my lifetime. Amazing, captivating, always revealing something new, absolutely beautiful. Well worth the time of the nitpicking tossers we love.

In all seriousness, *Arrival* is a lovely, sad, and beautiful film and I encourage everyone to see it.

Monster's Ink. Brilliant 👌👏👏

This has been my favorite movie ever since it came out. I just absolutely love it.

Well done. I was worried for a second when I saw this pop up in my recommendations because I didn't want to be pissed at Honest Trailer Guy, but he and the team there obviously recognize what a masterpiece this film is!

Word of advice…if you have a sick child, sit this one out.

"Look Sam! The Honest trailer guy is actually saying our comment!" Love ya!

Please do The Stand(either or), The Usual Suspects, The Day After Tomorrow, or 2012.

Love this film

Flawless. 10/10. Would watch.

Arrival is a beautiful movie. I loved every second of that movie.

Holy crap, FINALLY we get an Arrival trailer 😂

Love this Honest Trailer, funny but loving of the source material!

All true; and yet, it’s a masterpiece, and it gets better each time you watch it. ❤

Arrival is phenomenal and so underrated

Incredible good movie on so many levels.

Ted Chiang is amazing. The movie adaptation tried to overblow a very neatly crafted short story to make it be feature length

One of the most underrated sci fi films of all time.

This is one of the best videos you've ever done. Outstanding!

Yes I agree it was about communication.

One of the greatest films of all time, Denis is a master.

"What if an American had to learn a second language?" 😂😂😂 I'M DYING

this is one of the best films of all time

1:44 When Honest Trailers reads my mind. Amy Adams looked like she was just trying to rip one xD.

Spectacular film.

This, The Prestige, and Gattaca are the three movies I have to constantly restrain myself from recommending to people. Also, yes, everybody read Ted Chiang. Stories of Your Life and Others, the collection that contains the story Arrival is based on, is a great collection of bite-sized tastes of his work.

Holy crap the "Starring" really had me LOL'ing over here!

I love this movie so much. I watched it the first time with my husband. Then I watched it with my teens. They were riveted, I was bawling.

Great film. Wonderful examination of the nature of linear time.

Wow, brilliant one. Well done guys!

Hopefully humanity will live long enough to see a sequel.

The movie had only ONE redeeming scene: the scene where the Chinese general instantly recognises that he is talking to his former self, through her... That was a 5D chess move, right there. Everything else... meeehh

I. Never. Get. Tired. Of. This!!!

Fantastic. "Words With Friends"

What a movie, one of my favourites

Ted Chiang is amazing

Would love to see the Honest Trailer writers do a deep dive. A commentary if you will

Please make an Honest Trailer for Marvel Studios' Echo

Still my favorite Denis Villeneuve film after seeing Dune 2 (which was amazing). I love the relatively understated approach it took while still being incredibly intriguing

I guess there won't be anymore Honest Trailer Commentaries. That's really too bad. I find I don't have much interest in the trailers without the commentaries. Best of luck to you guys; thanks for all the great work.

Give me the chills with the line "Welcome to PlayPaintChill. You just gained honor +2 for following us ! ".

"Monsters , Ink" There you go, standing ovation for y'all.👏👏👏👏

"Meet Prof. Louise Bangs, top of the Duolingo Leaderboard." 🤣🤣

Wrinkled afro picks is fucking gold. Well played.

I love Ted Chiang's work. "Exhalation: Stories" is a beautiful collection of short stories.

12 spacecraft arrivé and do nothing... insert Patrick's "He's just standing there menacingly"

"Resting Overwhelmed Face" Me Since 2013 🤣

PERCY JACKSON!!!! 😭😱🙏

madness? THIS! IS ! HALLOWEEN!!!

Loved this movie. So underrated

Bravo for the promo of *Rennervations* at 1:20, and a bit of Jeremy's fabulous NEW album, *"Love & Titanium."* at 1:22. The rest of the video was spot-on, too.

this is one of those movies I absolutely loved but have only seen once
