Editorial Review:
Amazon.com:
Calling this 1996 science fiction thriller "a glorified B movie," isn't a criticism. Writer-director David Twohy managed to get interesting material on the screen despite a limited budget, and the film is just believable enough to be satisfying as a tale of paranoid conspiracy. If you can ignore the hokey parts and accept Charlie Sheen as noted radio astronomer Zane Ziminski, you'll get thoroughly involved when the reception of an alien radio signal leads him to Mexico and to a huge underground power plant operated by aliens bent on the eventual takeover of Earth. Ron Silver is suitably chilling as the astronomer's boss, whose real identity is more horrifying than Ziminski ever imagined. The underground alien lair is memorably creepy, and Twohy's film is just smart enough to qualify as more than a guilty pleasure. --Jeff Shannon

The THE ARRIVAL is to my mind the perfect loony space alien conspiracy flick. This film just works. It's in a space somewhere between pure camp and serious sci-fi drama.
Charlie Sheen is very entertaining and believable as a radio astronomer that discovers a strange radio signal which proves to be a first step in uncovering a big plot that is the sort of thing you hear coming from a paranoid schizophrenic in a mental institution. Or one of those weird late night radio shows that fields ... Read More

I always love this movie since, it is so difference the other movie about alien, and its been underrated since then. Although I'm only have the box set LD version, and within the period also have DVD been release, but those cannot satisfy me, it just release for the DVD market, and not for the movie, so I didn't touch one of them, and I wonder when the company will release a proper one for it, perhaps in bluray this day, since ten years was pass, and I hope they will have it soon, perhaps a 15 years ...

This is an old movie with a good story line. Because I am used to seeing more fantastic and realistic special effects circa 2001 to the present, a movie made in the 20th century which would have been rated five stars, nowadays rates only 2 1/2 stars

"The Arrival", quite frankly, is near the very top of my most favorite Sci-Fi movies of all times (just behind Star Wars/Star Trek). I won't go into the plot... but trust me... if you like excellent special-effects, you'll find nothing disappointing... as a matter of fact, the beginning scene is a fantastic effect which takes you from a patch of grass and flowers, surrounded by snow and ice, then pulls back (out) all the way to a position in Earth's orbit in a few short seconds (very well done). The ... Read More

Charlie Sheen stars as a scientist who discovers a mysterious signal from outer space. After this miraculous discovery, he is laid off and forced to setup a lab at his house using the filched bandwidth from his neighbor's satellite dishes. Soon Charlie rediscovers the signal but also discovers a return signal broadcasting from earth.
This was an intriguing bit of science fiction. I liked the premise, and found myself interested to know the origins of the signal. But I felt the plot (particularly ... Read More
