horrible movie, not worth wasting your time watching it....

goonies + ET + war of the worlds. ET is all grown up and ticked off at humanity.

Excellent movie.........a great family movie.

Disappointing. Good effects though. Crap ending. Terrible script. Meh.

What a garbage! Fell asleep four times. As it turned out all the buzz was about a giant alien spider having trouble patching together his spaceship out of old toasters. Masters of the Universe next to this is an intelligent, brilliant and breathtaking masterpiece! The best part of this boring experience was over before it began - the HP7 trailer. Come to think of it, even the Transformers trailer was more entertaining.

good storyline, a bit gory

LOVED IT! Best suspense kept shocking me through-out; but also had excellent character development and plot. For newbies - the youth were great actors - and Elle stole the show! Will see it again and again.

I loved this!! It was funny and had the Spielberg magic to it!!!

Can anyone tell me if this movie is gory or gross in any way?
June 16, 2011
Holy Madness this film was spectacular! The production value was immense and the acting was a-class. Great performances by the youth actors and the visual effects were crazy! A classic sci-fi thriller! 5 Stars!

I liked this movie though it was alittle bit too long.
June 15, 2011
This is a pretty good movie, but i could of waited for the cheap seats. I would recommend this movie to everyone but if there`s something else playing go see something else. rb

Interesting but simple story well played by the kids, enjoyed it, worth the see, plus has a mini-extra in the middle of the end-credits (funny). 4/5 Stars

Having grown up in the 70's this film not only flooded me with nostalgia but could have been a page out of my life. I had the Super 8 camera as a kid that me and my now deceased brother experimented with. It brought a tear to my eye. I was throughly entertained by this film, although the ending seemed abrupt. The boy confronting the alien and the transference of each other's loss and pain could have been shown more than it was - a quick scene of the boy and his mom and a quick scene of the alien and maybe his family would have tied it all in a nice, neat ending. We can only assume this is what happened. It would have had a more emotional punch. Overall tho I loved the movie.

Great movie, don't miss this, it is like the combination of district 9 and cloverfield!
June 13, 2011
MUST-WATCH MOVIE!!!

Great acting from the kids, special effects were great. There were some really magical scenes that were brilliantly directed. The plot was underdeveloped and really simple though. The ending was really sappy and and predictable.I loved it except for the last few scenes.

AMAZING MOVIE! I thought this movie wasn't going to be very good, but I went with my friends anyway. It was amazing...from the beginning to the end and every part in between! Everything that went into it was absolutely fantastic!
June 13, 2011
This is a good movie, but for kids
June 13, 2011
love this movie!

Someone asked if this was supposed to be a rebooted version of ET. No, it was not. Sure it was set around the same time (1979) but in no way was this even close. The child actors were good. I liked how they could vary their acting abilities for their homemade movie and the actual movie. Showed a lot of talent. The creature (if anyone noticed) was pretty similar to the multi-legged creature JJ Abrams had in Star Trek. Not much creativity there. he movie by not stretch should stay in number one spot. I was a little disappointed, but the story was great. The characters were great. This does not have the lasting appeal of other Spielberg-ish films or JJ's for that matter.

I thought the movie was going to be stupid. the typical Alien invasion story. I WAS WRONG - This is a great story first then a good action movie after. The investment in character development and story is excellent and the action then is even better. Very entertaining - Someone mentioned it was similar to ET I sort of agree but it packs way better action.
June 13, 2011
First off the movie was great and all the kids did an amazing acting job. Also for anyone who saw the movie, was the kitchen in the Deputys house the same from ET? And lastly for the person who compared this to district 9 are you an ID*OT....? These two movies have nothing in common other then an alien. You cant compare movies just because theres an alien...wow go get educated.
June 13, 2011
Wow this was a great movie. Didn't know what to expect. I loved it. And it is funny, exciting, scary all in one. Go see for yourself....
June 12, 2011
I aboustly can say i have not seen a movie this fantastic since e.t. This movie is a combination of stand by me, and E.T. Aboustly has humour, suspense, and mystery. Great!
June 12, 2011
I think Spielberg has run out of new ideas so is rehashing E.T., Goonies, and War of the Worlds. Good action, but premise was lame imho. I'd have waited for video if I know now, what I knew before I paid to see it.
June 12, 2011
I really loved this movie. It was a cross between Goonies, Close Encounters, and ET. While not for small kids, this movie has enough action and adventure for most ages.
June 12, 2011
6 out of 5 stars absolutly amazing. it was like The Sandlot meets ET. funny, exciting thoroughlly enjoyable.
June 12, 2011
it was soo good. i recommend seeing it before someone tells you the story
June 12, 2011
J.J. Abrams does it again. Great film. A must see!
June 12, 2011
I can't believe how many people are so critical on this movie. Honestly it was great ! Very Enjoyable. And I don't know about anyone else, but the acting was good in my opinion. For once they use no names and not the same people over and over again. Good to see new faces.
June 12, 2011
If you enjoyed the feel of ET, Goonies, stand by me etc. You will love this movie. Well thought out...and executed nicely. Recommended. A great summertime movie.
June 12, 2011
WOW who voted 5 stars for this I mean honestly this movie was so dumb.. So many holes and the story of the mother/wife was more detailed then the Alien itself.. WOW worse movie ive seen this year
June 12, 2011
Great movie! Totally got a Goonies and ET vibe mixed with a little War of the Worlds!
June 12, 2011
Seemed to better suited for teen or pre-teen viewers. Easily forgettable B movie.
June 11, 2011
Had me jumping so much I bruised the guy next to me! Great storyline and acting. Well done Abrams & Spielberg!
June 11, 2011
I loved every minute of this movie! To me it was a combo of Stand By Me, Goonies, ET. The actors did a great job and it definitely had me jumping quite a bit! I'm glad it didn't take place in this 'day and time'. They need to make more movies like these!
June 11, 2011
what a waste to watch this in IMAX...not much action... save your money and time, and watch something worthwhile than this... i am not kidding!
June 11, 2011
Really.... not bad, not great... a mixture of many films.... the (thing).. is actually pretty scarey (probably an early concept of another one JJ Abrahams film).... little intense for younger kids...
June 11, 2011
Five things that make this movie really good are the acting, special effects,directing,production values and the editing of the whole film great job done by J.J. Abrams the Director and Steven Spielberg the Producer and the move is also original which there is not a lot of in this summer of remakes and sequels.
June 11, 2011
This was a fun movie. Made me jump several times. Good action. Don't over-analyze it - just enjoy it! Stay for the credits......
June 10, 2011
this movie reminds me a little of Close Encounters of the third Kind...with a mix of Goonies and Stand by Me. It was good to watch, saw it in 7.1 surround which was amazing. worth the price of admission. 4/5
June 10, 2011
I went in with great expectations only to be disappointed with the entire movie. Wait for the DVD. After the movie ended people could care less about the credits and the kids zombie movie, they were all like me wondering why I had wasted my money on a B movie alien movie.
June 10, 2011
If you enjoyed CLose Encounters of the Third Kin, ET, Goonies, then you're going to love this movie. If you want wall to wall action with no story, look elsewhere.
June 10, 2011
Special Effects do NOT make a great movie. Acting was horrible and story line leaves it hanging. Enough with the invisible aliens already...
June 10, 2011
not like district 9, this movie was awesome
June 10, 2011
Worst movie I've seen in ages. Bad acting. Ridiculous story line. This movie is for six year olds, not teens or anyone older. Pure disappointment.
June 10, 2011
What an excellent movie, it did scared the crap out of me in several unexpected scenes. Really liked the way how the movie built up its atomsphere and attention. Full Price, gotta see it this weekend!
