It's a good concept, being invaded by alien beings with whom we need to learn to communicate, but it's poorly executed. Think giant octopus, but with 5 legs, and each of the ends of the legs expands into a "hand." The communication is in inky circles, and I'm not sure how we learn to interpret them into our language, but, of course, we do.
The film begins at the end, and the rest of the story goes back to the beginning, so it's really challenging to figure out what the heck is going on. The entire middle part is ... boring. And the beginning and the ending aren't too interesting either.
Arrived is a film I would skip as it's (wait for it) Dead on Arrival at your favorite theater.
