Boring and predictable

Rating: 2/10 (23 July 2017)

This is a movie that I watched so that I know what happens in it. It was quite a demanding task. There are really no ideas in the movie. It is the most basic kind of story; a creature arrives, becomes a friend with a child, then there are some difficulties to overcome and finally the creature has to leave and everyone is sad.
The only thing that brings joy in the boring task of watching this is the performance of the then 6 years old Drew Barrymore. She was a very talented actress already as a child. But knowing how fame at early age ruined her life, it is not all joy either.
So, now I know what happens in E.T. and I will not watch it again. For someone who likes childish stories and doesn't mind their predictable nature, this may be an entertaining film.
