Intense, gripping, stylish and poignant

A Masterpiece!

It’s an especially fun movie from a director and cast who are clearly having a good time allowing themselves to let loose.

There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

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.

Three pre-teenage friends are being split up because of what seems to be (what I've heard called) "imminent domain". In this case the city, or whoever, wants to build a freeway right where an entire neighborhood is located. So they've bought out the residents in order to raze the homes and construct their freeway.These three friends decided to spend their last night together following a mysterious map that appeared on their phones. The map leads them to a seemingly useless piece of scrap metal which turns out to be more than that. What they eventually discover is an ailing alien that longs to go home.This movie reminds me of E.T. if someone used it for toilet paper. Or Super 8 if someone used it to blow their nose.Even if we take away the fact that the movie was shot P.O.V. (which is a style I abhor in most cases with the exception of Paranormal Activity and REC) the movie was still bad. Nothing in the movie made me take notice: not their friendship, not any one character, not the story and certainly not the alien. I watched anxiously hoping for something incredible or at least something satisfactory and I found neither.Perhaps this movie was something new and awesome to children but it was a big dud to me.

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"

I really don't see what peoples problem is. It was never going to be a massive full on worldwide smash, it is what it is. More than one person has said its plot was lifted from E.T. And your point being? There a hundreds if not thousands of films out there that if you looked at the storyline you could find similar plot lines with other films. Even more annoying people are saying that there are moments when people are seen drinking alcohol, Who the hell gives a damn.people drink alcohol. they don't glorify it, in the film they don't encourage it. The kids in the film don't suddenly get superpowers because they saw it, get over it. Its a simple not overly complicated film that even when your kids have their nose in their phone through half of it, will still be able to follow whats happening
