Spielberg movie, not Kline's book

Rating: 7/10 (18 August 2018)

A good movie in itself, this is only loosely based on the book of the same name. If you haven't read the book then you won't miss the deep layers to the story and the struggle of the protagonist. The SFX and scale of the various action sequences was sensational. It was also humorous and clearly aimed at a young audience, drawing in elements of movies like the Goonies. I liked this movie.
