Denis Villeneuve effectively presents a Sci-Fi film with as much heart as it does terrifying visuals. Amy Adams is an absolute powerhouse and deserved recognition from the Academy in this film. Brilliant cinematography throughout, bookended by remarkable writing. A must-see for Science Fiction fans. 10/10
