Breathtaking and relaxing monster movie

Rating: 8/10 (25 July 2016)

■Story
This movie begins with a huge train accident. Kids making a film near the crash site witness it. They get to know some secrets then. The train accident actually has something to do with extraterrestrial life, and the monster starts to attack the children's town. The brave kids face the monster and military concealing the truth. The monster is unidentifiable until final part and it is scary and terrible. This movie expresses not only panic but also family and friend ties.
■Characters
Every kids perform very well and convey panic, craziness and joy. In particular, Joel Courtney and Elle Fanning are brilliant.
Joel Courtney play a role as a calm and strong-minded boy. The appearance is a just child, but, inside looks an adult.
Elle Fanning acts a typical girl in puberty. She cannot keep a temper and looks a little bit heartless. However, she some times smiles with simplicity and show kindness. I felt that she is actually thoughtful and kind, but, she looks delinquent because her farther is always drunken. Elle Fanning plays a very difficult role.
The two actor attracts me very much.
