There is going to be such a backlash when this gets wide release. It will be Prometheus all over again. Critics are swept up in the films imagination of how intellectual/emotional it thinks it is, but audiences will quickly see through it I think.

Backlash?!? ... doubtful

There's been a multitude of advanced viewings and those folks that have seen the film and which have posted on Twitter, Facebook are mostly unanimous in its praise. The only folks I see which would have any issues with the film are those that expected an action sci-fi movie based on the misleading trailers.... and oh yeah,... folks like you that spend way too much time trying to ridicule every aspect of the film.

I thought "Gravity" was really overrated (and nonsense to boot)!

"Arrival" is the best film I have seen in a long time and completely deserving of the 100% rating. Honestly, nobody could have had higher expectations of this one than me and I was not disappointed.

Funny how people are only comparing this to Gravity because of the user/critics ratings while this movie is a lot better comparable to Independence Day and 2010 (1984), even though the concept and morals are slightly different. I guess people just haven't seen it yet and are still being prejudiced about million-dollar sci-fi movies. If my opinion counts, the movie kept me breathless and is more original than you'd think.

Not many reviews yet by the so called "top critics" though. They are usually the most cynical ones who tend to give films with a certain entertainment value bad reviews (for being too "escapist"). Sadly, soon one of the "top critics" or one of the religious critics will ruin the perfect score.
