7.5 not a 7
Saw this movie in 2011 an i thought it was just amazing. I watch today and it is still good. Its not GREAT, but it is a good movie. Why people hate this movie i don't know... Sure it takes a lot from other movies, but so does EVERY SINGLE MOVIE EVER.
I do believe that without this movie there would be no stranger things, it no doubt inspired the duffer brothers. Clearly there were other movies before this to pave the way, but i would say stranger things steals quite a bit from this movie. Namely the entire look of the alien creature lol.
Some Things I like About This -They nail the early 80s/late 70s vibe -The movie starts out very good -They hype up the lil alien pretty well -Train crash is very cool -Big budget movie, so it feels very "Mint" ;) -Great Score -Great Cinematography -Really good child actors (who have surprisingly been in nothing after this)
Things I Do Not Like About This Movie -The last 20 minutes get a wee cheese -Lack of character development... nobody changes, except for the father who is just a side character so that doesn't count -goofy romance -Rather shallow in meaning -Pretty Weak ending
