One of the most anticipated movies of the summer, this. Me? I'm waiting for Final destination 5 and the new Tintin movie but this was actually a good quality sci-fi flick.But it had it's infrequent flaws. The film was uneven, as the action was spaced out. It was somewhat slow to start. It was formulaic in several ways, and felt like nothing too new. But that was made up for by many things.
Visual effects, as can often be expected nowadays, blew my mind. Explosions looked realistic, as did the alien. The action was involving and intense. The main character was a likeable protagonist. Acting was convincing enough. JJ Abram's direction was very efficient indeed. The train crash was even better than the one in FINAL DESTINATION 3! It was amazing! It was intense, beautifully done and totally crazy. But it was a little ludicrous though. The train would not go in the air like that.
The movie, despite featuring kids in the main roles, is not a little kids movie. It is very scary! But that's part of the fun. Intense action, as well as the frequent emotional depth, make for a touching and memorable experience.
Verdict: Though uneven and not so original, this thrilling, terrifying and touching sci-fi tale works.
Final grade: 8
