No idea why everyone is hating on this, it's a great prequel for what the show is, and the best thing about it is hanging out with these silly, super fun characters. I could watch Herman for hours, though it takes a few minutes for him to fully warm up to you. It's also great that we spend the first half of the movie in the Transylvania world that the Munsters came from.

User reviewers are morons. This is a fantastic horror movie that avoids tons of cliches and they don't wuss out on the nudity. Solid writing, interesting characters, respectable amounts of blood an horror goodness, it's awesome!!!

Come on you guys... I do prefer the darker more badass versions of these movies, but this was really fun, good for the whole family, and I gotta try and bring the user score up for this. No idea why everyone his hating on this so much, unless it's literally an Anti-Disney conspiracy effort. Averages audiences should really enjoy this!

Arrival is basically the Michael Crichton version of a "story by" Chris Nolan & Carl Sagan sort-of-remake of Close Encounters and/or Contact. Villenueve is one of my favorite directors right now, and this makes it all the more awesome that he's helming Bladerunner 2049. It looks like some people are slamming this for not being big and loud (and dumb) like a Transformers movie, which is spot-on because Arrival is thankfully the complete opposite of those in nearly every way (and don't forget- as revered as Bladerunner is as one of the greatest, if not cult, sci-fi (and Ridley Scott movies for that matter) of all time, it tanked at the box office and isn't exactly paced like Raiders or Empire Strikes Back). If you tried to watch Close Encounters recently, you might've found it to be a fairly tough watch for its insanely slow burn pace, but in its time it was riveting, thought-provoking, and powerful, which is essentially what Arrival pulls off for our modern age. And much like Contact, I don't see Arrival being the movie I rewatch as frequently as The Incredibles, the last 3 Mission Impossible movies, Fury Road, or any season of Game of Thrones or Hannibal, but man it's a fat-free, compelling as hell watch the first time around from beginning to end... though it won't hurt if don't go into it expecting Interstellar, The Martian, or Gravity. Again, your 60-something favorite Uncle or under-30-something semi-millenials would probably be much happier watching Dr. Strange (which I kinda almost loved), Hacksaw Ridge, or Jack Reacher 2, but Arrival is clearly the one most likely to (hopefully) nab an Oscar nom.
