Rubbish, advertised to adults, made for kids

Rating: Null/10 (6 August 2011)

Take out the swearing and this film would be a U rating. A poor rip off of the Goonies and ET. Think as an audience we were supposed to be sympathetic and emotional, but none of the characters were interesting enough to care about. Not sure if this was a kids film with added swearing to get the rating up to appeal to an older age group.
Considering the pedigree of Spielberg and Abrhams this is a poor effort as a summer blockbuster.
Think this film was slung together to get a bit of cash in to pay the studio's electricity bill.
I broke all my own rules, which is never go see a film that is heavily advertised, studios don't like spending money and only advertise poor films, word of mouth sells good movies.
Impossible to write a spoiler for this film, as everything that happens is so obvious you can see a plot twist from the cinema car park.
