Good drama, but not the usual Sci-Fi summer blockbuster.

Rating: 9/10 (16 March 1999)

I have to admit that this movie left me wanting more action. But maybe I was expecting to much. From a Sci-Fi summer movie, I'd expect more action. But maybe Spielberg was trying to make that type of movie. I guess he wanted to try something new. For the most part he succeded. What I saw was good. Differant, but good. It has pretty cool effects and really good acting and plot for the type of movie it is. Some parts are a lttle hard to follow but the kids wouldn't mind at all. It's made for them anyway. So don't expect blood and guts like Alien, or even another great winner from Spielberg, Saving Private Ryan. Check it out. It's worth buying and your kids won't get tired of it for a LONG time. Being a Spielberg fan, this was one of his best. Just don't go expecting Jurassic Park.
