Arrival

Poster for Arrival featuring a large close-up of a woman gazing upward, with a man and a military officer standing below her. In the background, helicopters fly near a massive black oval-shaped alien spacecraft hovering above an open landscape. The muted colors and serious expressions create a sense of mystery, anticipation, and scientific discovery. The title “Arrival” appears at the bottom of the poster.
