![]() For good reason since world news is afoot. Amy Adams ("Batman vs Superman") plays Dr Louise Banks, a language teacher at a US university facing a bunch of particularly disengaged students one morning. Actually what you get is a film that approaches the grandeur of "Close Encounters" but interlaces it with the intellectual depth of "Inception", the mystery of "Intersteller" and a heavy emotional jolt or two of "Up". At face value, it looks like a dubious "Close Encounters" wannabe, with a threat of movement towards the likes of "Independence Day" and "The 5th Wave". Then there is "Arrival" Because the trailer for "Arrival" belies absolutely nothing about the depth and complexity of the film. ![]() But most of the time a "ho hum" trailer typically drives the expectation of a "ho hum" film: "Jack Reacher: Never Look Back" being a good recent example. Sometimes I can get very excited by a really good teaser trailer (case in point, "10 Cloverfield Lane"). Sometimes I can get very irritated by a trailer for giving too much away (case in point, "Room" and more recently "Passengers").
