JJ goes out of his way to rip off as many movies as he can, end credits are good.
i enjoy watching kyle chandler act but i did not like this movie. i would not choose to watch it again. from all the buzz i guess i expected it to be better. it disappointed.
this movie was awesome go watch this movie on netflix .
a fantastic joy-ride of a movie. great cast and story.
Much better than I anticipated! lots of fun.
One of the best movies I've seen in a long time!!!
Very surprised at how much I loved this movie. Instant classic for me. Great story and an interesting concept. Well done!
A fun-filled, heart warming movie...One of the years best films!!
Elle Fanning is a gem in this uneven film that pulls too much out of the Spielberg oeuvre. What starts of strong sadly goes way over the top.
A great return to the 80's alien nostalgia.
I am born in the late 70's so i grow up with the first Star Wars trilogie, the Goonies, E.T, etc. and finally i have a new film that i can put in my Classic.
good not great
great movie!
What a great movie.
Great acting, great characters, great effects, strong story. Well done, Mr. Abrams
Great Movie
Excellent
Too much like another Spielberg movie, good acting by the kids but I didn't really like it.
Not what i was expecting, but still a very good movie.
fantastic movie and worth the admission.
The cliche' "nostalgia" at it's best, and it's true really. So much love went into this one, and brings us back to the simpler hearfelt stories that we grew up with like 'E.T.' and 'The Goonies' and even hints of 'Jurassic Park'. One not to be missed and maybe even a one to watch with the family with kids over 13 years old of course.
An interesting movie...starts off good, but never seems to really pick up. It was more less a hopeless attempt at making a remake of E.T with a twist, JJ really let me down with this movie and wasnt whar was expected from it, the lack of story and good acting made the movie fail in my eyes. The small amount of comedy in the movie really kept me awake but realisticly the best part of the movie was the last 10 minutes when things finially start to become interesting, for the amount of time I had to sit there, JJ didn't do much with it...
It was a great movie with a great story. I would have liked it to be a little more magical. Reminded me of the goonies.
A different, original film in a summer of remakes and sequels. The movie unravels a bit on the end, but an entertaining summer flick nonetheless.
Started off great, but slowed down and almost lost my attention halfway through.
leave it to Abrams and Spielberg to bring back the blockbuster Kid adventure movie to the big screen
A good movie overall.
Leave it to Abrams & Spielberg to bring back the blockbuster Kid Adventure movie.
JJ Abrams and Steven Spielberg have brought the blockbuster kid adventure movie back.
great movie
I wasn't sure what to expect with this movie. Thought it was well done.
THE kid adventure movie is back
A BIT DISAPPOINTING ENDING.....
It's like E.T. meets The Goonies. Most fun I've had in years.
Spielber at his best and J.J. Abrams in a winning combination
The person who posted "the kid adventure movie is back" half a dozen times needs a slap...as for the movie, I haven't seen it yet.
THE KID adventure movie is back.
Great characters, action, special effects.
fantastic! Great acting and interesting story
Special effects are one thing hovever to cram bits and pieces of other movies into one - well I for one felt J J was leaning too much on his past projects most notably Cloverfield- also over the top was the appearance now by E.T --- now the kids in the movie were the stars(bonding) of course that idea was taken from Spielberg's The Goonies. Entertaining but not worth watching again. I just hope the hype for Terra Nova isn't for nothing.
