It really is like E.T. for the 21st century. Though movie kids today are more skeptical and rebellious than they were 20 years ago (no one befriends an alien and hides it in the closet), it is similar nonetheless. This was a surprising revelation since I knew nothing about this film when I saw it (a practice I highly recommend—thank you J.J. Abrams). The one thing I appreciated the most about this film was the lack of deliberate killings. Yeah, accidents happen when something breaks lose from a military train, but things started disappearing more so than dying, making it even more appropriate for the kiddies who enjoy a good suspense.
Verdict: Novel enough (Netflix)
