You're not wrong there, plenty of the choices seem like what a casual person who doesn't even really seek out Sci Fi would think of as "genre defining."
I mean really, arrival? It's basically just Slaughterhouse 5's Tralfamadorians but without the existential non-meaning attached. It wasn't a bad movie, but it's just another good enough film from the last decade.
