This has a certain appeal to it.
Then again, I enjoyed the Hell out of Super 8, so I may be a bit biased towards movies that remind me of the movies I watched when I was a kid*.

*Obviously, Super 8 was a homage to the alien movies that scared me, while this one is a look back at the alien movies that didn’t. But the principle is the same: nostalgia, hopefully well-crafted.
So it’s ET with a better budget and a more diverse cast.
Just so long as they don’t overdo the jittercam…
Reminds me of ET and Solarbabies (yeah, dumb title, but worth a watch).
