User review rating: 2 July 14, 2011

Cheesy and overproduced, the effects were amazing but the story was lackluster. There were a few groaner moments, to be perfectly honest.

User review rating: 3 July 14, 2011

It had potential Kinda fell apart and became a little overblown by the end.

User review rating: 4 July 14, 2011

Great flic, that totally reminded me of classic Spielberg films from the 80s, like Goonies, Indiana Jones, etc.

User review rating: 2 July 13, 2011

This movie is just ok.

User review rating: 4 July 13, 2011

This film far exceeded my expectations. A young group of kids hold this movie. I loved how interesting each of the actors personalities were developed, a good surprise is Dakota Fanning's younger sister and her role in this film. Not a typical alien versus man film. A must see!!

User review rating: 4 July 12, 2011

Can't go wrong with a Steven Spielberg movie! My whole family really enjoyed this thrilling movie!

User review rating: 4 July 12, 2011

This movie is sweet and inoffensive. Very enjoyable in an 80's kind of way. Very Goonies meets E.T.

User review rating: 4 July 12, 2011

I thought this was very well done. The story was well written & executed. The actors were phenomenal. It was like an updated version or ET.

User review rating: 5 July 11, 2011

great movie! brings back the ET days

User review rating: 3 July 11, 2011

More like 3.5 stars. Old school Spielberg at its best, I'm just not sure how relevant that is anymore. Overall, a "cute" movie, but that probably wasn't what he was going for.

it was like goonies meet et....

User review rating: 5 July 11, 2011

a wonderful retro type movie, kids acted great

User review rating: 5 July 11, 2011

I thought this was very good. It's like ET for a new generation.

User review rating: 4 July 11, 2011

Return of the Kid adventure movie!

User review rating: 4 July 11, 2011

Very very good, like a science fiction adventure version of "The Goonies".

User review rating: 4 July 10, 2011

Kids are funny, jumped a few times, good fun.

User review rating: 5 July 10, 2011

Very Strong acting. Great themes that are usually hard to express through what is mainly a Science-Fiction movie. Fantastic! I'll be first in line to buy the dvd!

User review rating: 1 July 10, 2011

anyone who is stating that this is a good movie needs to watch more movies. This movie was pure crap. The story was just boring and lacked any intelligence and just ended up being a cheesy monster movie in the end. How completely lame.

User review rating: 1 July 10, 2011

This movie was a huge disappointment. What a complete and utter piece of crap. This is the kind of dribble that 8th graders can write. There was nothing at all impressive about this movie. I was totally mortified that I was the one who suggested to my friends to see this utter piece of crap.

User review rating: 4 July 10, 2011

Loved it. The actors are very talented children. Great action, different story line. Cross between Stand By Me and The Goonies. Worth seeing

User review rating: 4 July 10, 2011

Good

User review rating: 4 July 09, 2011

The movie was great except for 4 things: It was obvious what the thing was, it was too loud, unnecessary swearing, and the ending.

User review rating: 4 July 09, 2011

It was good

User review rating: 5 July 09, 2011

J. J. Abrams' pays homage to Spielberg in this engaging adventure/comedy set in the 70s. Look closely and see elements of Jaws, ET, Indiana Jones, and the Goonies skilfully intertwined as young teens deal with a seemingly-malevolent alien, a government cover-up, and coming-of-age romance. Entertaining and fun for the whole family!

User review rating: 0 July 09, 2011

Loved it- the young actors were so right for their roles. The 2 hours flew by, no lulls in the action!

User review rating: 4 July 08, 2011

Awesome acting, great action scenes and good writing.

User review rating: 5 July 08, 2011

Great story, very good acting and good alien!

User review rating: 5 July 08, 2011

Really loved this movie! Great special effects, especially the train scene. Loved the overall themes of family, friendships and forgiveness.

User review rating: 4 July 08, 2011

great movie

User review rating: 5 July 01, 2011

great movie! my 2nd fav besides "avatar", however, some questions were left unanswered. but the rest makes up 4 it! 5 stars+++++++++++

User review rating: 1 July 01, 2011

I was expecting something special, trusting a Spielberg production would be good, but was very, very disappointed. The story is 99% focused on kids, not the alien, which means you are never told what it is, where it came from, and you never really see what it looks like! So you won't be disappointed like I was, only expect a boy-coming-of-age story (yes, another one - yawn) with no real depth or context to it, haphazard special effects that you have seen a million times before, and a sappy, sloppy story and complacent ending. I wish I could get my money back. :(

User review rating: 5 July 01, 2011

Really good. Reminded me of "E.T."

User review rating: 5 June 28, 2011

great movie an epic thrill

User review rating: 5 June 28, 2011

Amazing! Although the cast was mainly youth, the storyline and emotions conveyed in the film were timeless. This was one of the best films of the year!!! I was reminded of the classic film the GOONIES because of the themes of friendship, love, family, and adventure that both films contained. LOVED IT!!!

User review rating: 4 June 27, 2011

Well written, great actors, fast action, great family movie (but a little scary for the really young). I thought character development was very well done.

User review rating: 4 June 27, 2011

Got to say, just saw this and it was really well done. A more grown up version of E.T. It is well worth the money to see it on big screen, unlike some of the movies that have come out.

User review rating: 4 June 26, 2011

It was really a good movie!! Kept my interest throughout...highly recommend seeing it.

User review rating: 3 June 26, 2011

A cheesy movie with poor plot and character development. You're left with lots of questions in the end that aren't answered. It could have been far better written and edited. Too long for such an incomplete storyline! And I wouldn't take kids to see it if they are the least bit anxious. Lots of cheap scary moments.

User review rating: 5 June 24, 2011

Amazing movie....I love the part where Luke found out Darth Vader was his father.

User review rating: 5 June 23, 2011

Fun movie. Little bit like ET with attitude. Good action movie for the whole family.

User review rating: 4 June 22, 2011

With JJ Abrams and Steven Spielberg?!? What can one say but this is a wonderful movie with a good mix of action, humour and humanity.

User review rating: 5 June 21, 2011

Wonderful movie for families. The cast was exceptional. A few editing flaws at the end that made it a bit cheesy, but we really enjoyed the movie. It was nice to see something interesting that wasn't sleezy.

User review rating: 5 June 21, 2011

Best family friendly movie we have seen in a long time. Wholesome enough for the young and exciting enough for the adults. Has a good story line, special effects, and character development to keep your interst. The cast was great. Kyle Chandler was perfect for this part. We loved it.
