It's mildly entertaining. Nothing great, nothing awful.

Sounds perfect to watch while I take a nap.

I enjoyed it. Best child acting in a film in quite some time imo.

How old are you? If you were born between 78 and 87 you will enjoy the nostalgia. Very good movie. Feels like an homage to ET, Goonies, etc...

I really liked it, but I have a soft spot in my heart for those type of movies. I use to have dreams similar to that when I was young.

I enjoyed it. It does have a few inconsistencies that very anal movie-goers might find problematic. But it was a decent movie. I was really impressed with the kid actors.

BTW, not sure how old your kids are alajones - but this isn't a good movie for young kids. My 3rd grader would definitely not enjoy this movie - some scary scenes and definitely some words I don't want her using.

An enjoyable watch made by a competent filmmaker. Honestly, I wish we had more films like this aimed towards kids. It's very reminiscent of ET - it talks to 10-14 year olds on their level.

Meh, it's one of those things, glad I watched it so I'm no longer wondering if I'm missing something great. But I'd pass it up 100 out of 100 times if I saw it on the guide.

I thought it was a really fun summer blockbuster. I enjoyed it. It's one of those movies that makes you feel like a kid again.
