Customer Reviews

Collage of E.T., Close Encounters, and other such stuff.

J.J. Abrams - Director / Writer / Producer presents us with a love story that is occasionally visited by an alien. Marketed as a sort of kids' “Blaire Witch” (1999). The film is a pale reflection of “The Goonies” (1985). Kids making a movie witness a train wreck and possibly something else. We know that they are in trouble, as “poof” out of nowhere, men in uniforms with flashlights appear. There is a disclaimer at the beginning of the film, but there does seem to be a lot of gratuitous potty mouth in the presentation. Even if the plot was formulaic and many times formula can be fun, Elle Fanning excelled as a zombie. See her earlier works as Phoebe Lichten in “Phoebe in Wonderland” (2008).
