I love this film. The opening scenes really set you up. All dark tones, Amy's character disconnected from the world and what's going on, her alone in a big empty house and her Mum asking how she is doing on the phone. Plus of course the music. It's a bit like a live adult version of the beginning of Up, which always has me in pieces.

I really love that you enjoyed it so much, cause for me it is still up there as one of the best movies. And I also love Max Richter so much. It is weird that Arrival and Shutter Island are so similiar in that way :D But On the Nature of Daylight or the Departure just always brings tears to my eyes. The opening scene of The Leftovers, Shutter Island or this movie.

You are one of the few reactors who actually understood the movie in full. Really enjoyed this one. Thanks.

This was a really fun reaction, glad you liked the movie! To jump on the sci-fi recommendation bandwagon, if you haven't seen it, Gravity from 2013 starring Sandra Bullock is exceptional as well.
