What a thoroughly delightful bunch of kids. Their language could have used some cleaning up, but they worked together so well and made the whole thing seem so real. As the saying goes, I could have watched them read the phone book. (One of them would have filmed the reading, another two would be making eyes at each other the whole time, and yet another would end by setting the phone book on fire.) And it was cool that we got to see their zombie movie at the end! Even though it was a bit gross.
Kyle Chandler never ages. Deal with the devil, or just good genes?
I can't believe Elle Fanning could actually do that thing with her hair, and not have it fall out. I wish I had hair like that. It would be so convenient on hot days to just tie it in a knot, and have it stay put. Mine won't stay without about 975 bobby pins and a couple of gallons of hairspray.
I could do without the trend of BIG LOUD SCARY SHOCKING NOISES OUT OF NOWHERE in movies. I know it was a monster movie, but really. I jumped so many times that I spent more time in the air than in my seat.
They captured the E.T. vibe that they were going for pretty well. Although I would have vastly preferred another cute little harmless alien.
At times the movie reminded me of nothing so much as a Thomas Hardy novel, where everything that can possibly go wrong does go wrong, and then even more stuff goes wrong.
But Kyle Chandler wore not one but TWO uniforms during the movie, which is proof that someone up there really likes me.
Like heck I'd give up my dead mother's necklace to help a people-eating alien build his ship! Let him find his own dang necklace!!
