    I can't believe how many people are so critical on this movie. Honestly it was great ! Very Enjoyable. And I don't know about anyone else, but the acting was good in my opinion. For once they use no names and not the same people over and over again. Good to see new faces.

    If you enjoyed the feel of ET, Goonies, stand by me etc. You will love this movie. Well thought out...and executed nicely. Recommended. A great summertime movie.

    Seemed to better suited for teen or pre-teen viewers. Easily forgettable B movie.

    I loved every minute of this movie! To me it was a combo of Stand By Me, Goonies, ET. The actors did a great job and it definitely had me jumping quite a bit! I'm glad it didn't take place in this 'day and time'. They need to make more movies like these!

    what a waste to watch this in IMAX...not much action... save your money and time, and watch something worthwhile than this... i am not kidding!

    Really.... not bad, not great... a mixture of many films.... the (thing).. is actually pretty scarey (probably an early concept of another one JJ Abrahams film).... little intense for younger kids...

    Five things that make this movie really good are the acting, special effects,directing,production values and the editing of the whole film great job done by J.J. Abrams the Director and Steven Spielberg the Producer and the move is also original which there is not a lot of in this summer of remakes and sequels.
