What would the Spielverg of the 80's done

Rating: 8/10 (13 May 2018)

This 80's pop culture based sci-fi film is clearly a pet project of Steven Spielberg and as such seems to be a bit dated in it's premise but exquisite in it's execution. That being said, it is too long as happens too many times when unlimited budget meets the dream of a master storyteller. The young star Tye Sheridan has neither the skill or experience to meet the expectations. Also, the villain portrayed by although frequently seen an antagonist, his effort seems pedestrian rather than terrifying.
