If i were to write a review, i'd pretty much be telling you the movie. It's best you watch it yourself. It's not a let-down. well for me it wasn't. I didn't have high expectations for it or low expectations just wondered what the hell the movie was about. Think of E.T meets Cloverfield. (also pay attention that it's a Spielberg and JJ Abrams movie) I'd rate it as a 7-8/10
