I'm a little surprised that there's no thread on this movie yet. Certainly some of you must have seen it by now.
From the moment that I heard that this was colaberation between JJ Abrams and Steven Spielberg, I knew that I was going to see this flick. I was not disappointed. What a great film. It had all the quirky fun heartwarming elements of a Spielberg film with the suspense build-up that I've come to love from Abrams.
I have to admit that as a huge Lost fan, when the Bad Robot logo came up at the beginning of the credits I got a little nostalgic chill up my spine.
I wasn't sure what to expect from this movie. I thought that the trailers made it look an awful lot like Cloverfield and I thought it was more of a horror movie. But then a friend told me that she took her 10-yr-old daughter to see it and it was more like Stand By Me. Well, I would place it somewhere in the middle. Cloverfield meets Stand By Me, or Cloverfield for kids. :D
The train crash scene was a bit over the top, but had me on the edge of my seat and I never left that position. There were lots of suprises and a few times I thought the story line was going to be totally predictable but then it went in a different direction...which kept me totally engaged through the whole film.
Hubby and I both loved it! Four thumbs up. :thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:
