Please don't spend money on this.

I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.

One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.

I watched this on Amazon Prime, expecting nothing. I put it on the background while I was doing work, but then ended up watching it instead of doing my work. I thought the actors were natural and the story was sweet. It's really about friendship. And about kids trying to find their power to do things. I think it had several important messages. Perhaps kids wouldn't understand this movie fully until they grow up. I'm 44 and I thought it was a perfect movie for a Sunday afternoon and the alien was supercute.

I honestly don't get the hate for this movie. I went to see it with my friend and we both enjoyed it. It is a very awesome movie the best bit was when echo assembled his ship together and when the kids broke into the military base. Acting was decent and the spacial effects were good. I would definitely recomand it.

As the movie progresses you see that ET is increasingly resembling the ET, the problem is that it does not become good. At no time is it endearing and at times becomes boring and long.The 3d effects are superbly carried. Only in some moments they are noticed that they are 3d effects. But that alone does not make a good movie.It does not get to give you emotion in any moment. There is a moment that seems to see tension but focuses again on the guys alone and the tension is lost.It has a very bad picture, it does not accompany to create a great work. The address, as we will compare this with that of Master Spielberg. He has focused on taking the planes taken by the chambers carried by the children and it gives a direction aimless, crazy, with sometimes ugly plans. You do not see a beautiful staging, studied or cared for.It was a challenge too great and not even glimpsed.

I think people expected too much of typical science fiction actions out of this movie. That would explain why this good movie don't have a good overall rating. For me I stumbled across this movie and watched it without knowing even the title of the movie is. I was very pleased of the two hours I spent watching this.I was in the middle of doing something else, the interesting plot and actions kept me watching this movie till the very end. For the shaky cameras wise I am all good with them as they give the perspective from the cameras the kids are using to film the whole process. It fits the plots nicely not like certain movies that tries to use that concept way too purposefully. At the end I will some inspirations I get from this movie. "Compassion is mankind best quality" "Everyone can makes a difference" "Don't let fear controls your decision, do what you wanted and thinks it is right"
