- Radio astronomer, Zane Ziminsky (Cahrlie Sheen), has been listening to cosmic noise for years. It's his obsession. Long nights, monitoring every frequency, every wave length, every millimeter of space for signs of extraterrestrial life...and hearing nothing but silence. One night Zane picks up a signal from space... a shockwave. This is what he's been waiting for. Or is it?

DEAD ON ARRIVAL - The Arrival review by Frank TALKER™
Unsophisticated propaganda for the dangers of climate change disguised as a mish-mash of science-fiction, suspense, horror & conspiracy thriller.
This movie does not do particularly well at any of its genres; making it a jack-of-all-trades and master-of-none since it cannot decide what it primarily wants to be.
None of the actors does anything interesting with their admittedly thinly-written characters; leaving the audience to focus on wondering what is really going on amidst the long trail of death-and-destruction related to a mysterious, coded radio-message from outside of the solar system.
We don't really care for any of the characters; making two hours pass slowly.
