Wes Anderson has like two great movies and the rest is just good interior decoration.

When I was young I loved Royal Tenenbaums. I watched it again recently and thought it was OK, verging on bad.

I recall loving Arrival quite a bit when I watched it in the movie theater, and it's been on my short list of movies I want to watch again, but for some reason I cannot pull the trigger on a rewatch. Maybe it sucked after all.

I just bought and read the short story. It was indeed superior to the movie.

I read they changed the script for Arrival after Interstellar came out because it was too similar

I still think aliens not experiencing time linearly (and us as well, when learning their language), is a silly concept. But the short story felt like a sincere love letter to her dead daughter, which was not only emotionally moving, it also had some amusing growing up scenes. The short story was also without several of the scenes that helped make the movie poor. The adapting to an alien language was interesting in both, but that too was fleshed out in a better way in the written story.
