You're talking about "Arrival", not "The Arrival", which is a 1996 movie staring Charlie Sheen about an alien invasion. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0115571/ https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0115571/ Strangely enough the Charlie Sheen "The Arrival" is also a really good physics movie. I've yet to see a movie do the SETI/Astronomy/physics stuff better :-). I love him building a radio telescope control in his attic, using local people's roof satellite dishes as the array !
