I found the movie too predictable, but there's not much you can do with
an alien invasion story that hasn't been done before, so that really
isn't too bad.  I wish it had wrapped the story up a little better, but
perhaps they were hoping for a sequel ...<g>

But the issue here is whether or not the alien pictured on Whitley's
site is from that movie, and I suspect that it is.  I am trying to
contact them via Email, but the company that did the special effects
work for The Arrival can be found at:

        http://www.pdi.com/PDIPage/screening/feature_films/arrival.html

There isn't a clear image of the "alien" from the front, but there are
several on the site that appear to be of the same type. If I learn
anything more, I'll post it here.
