My son Pete loved this movie. In 1979, the year in which the film is set, he was about the same age as the children in the movie. He went on and on about the music, the nostalgic artifacts, and product placements. As I said, he loved it. My grandson Max also enjoyed the film. He thought the "monster" was terrific. As for me, I was mesmerized by the train crash at the beginning, but I soon lost interest. In the end, the film is just
Goonies meets
E.T meets
Alien, terribly derivative.
