"This PG-13 sci-fi adventure movie is a decent watch. The young actors in the movie all do a fine job acting wise. Although the roles that the kids play in the film are totally unrealistic and lean a little on the corny side. There are some good action sequences, though. The argument could be made that it's like an alternative version of E.T.
Kind of a fun movie, if you don't expect too much from it. 6.5/10"

"At the time it wasn’t everything I hoped. After finding out that Stranger Things was inspired by it. The movie has grown on me more though."

"Nice little movie with some sci-fi and it's a fun watch. Don't remember if Steven Spielberg is involved with this or not but it was good none the less."

"It was interesting I will admit but it didn’t have what I kind of hoped for.. Not a rewatch but it wasn’t a let down. "

"It's the summer of 1979 and some kids get together to film a movie and end up witnessing a train derailment that ends in a government coverup. Scifi, action and some humor. The kids do a great job in this one."

"Somewhat the same storyline as Cloverfield, as Cloverfield had a baby alien terrified rooming around a city causing havoc because it was afraid. It's an interesting movie that you have to keep paying attention to if you don't, you miss stuff. They did a great job making it feel as if you were back a few decades.
