Arrival is a moody sci-fi drama about a linguistics professor, played by Amy Adams, who is tasked with finding a way to communicate with aliens that arrive on Earth.

Science fiction has long speculated about the possibility of first contact with an alien species from a distant world and how we might be able to communicate with them. But what if we simply don't have enough common ground for that to even be possible? An alien species is bound to be biologically very different, and their language will be shaped by their home environment, broader culture, and even how they perceive the universe. They might not even share the same math and physics.

In many fictional works, invented languages often mimic human language structures, featuring nouns and verbs, thus showcasing our linguistic biases and limitations in creativity.
