Don't Spoil it by IMDBing to find the whole plot!

Rating: 10/10 (10 June 2011)

This was excellent! Part of what made it great was not knowing the full plot before hand. Do yourself a favor - don't IMDb it to get the whole scoop - just check it out.
The young cast was AMAZING...it was like watching a group of real kids...not a bunch of child actors.
It is well written, well acted, well directed, well produced. The story is so good that you can buy into the fictional elements. I didn't know it was J.J. Abrams...He's redeemed himself from the crappy wrap-up of LOST with this movie.
And it's Spielberg at his best. I was taken back to the emotional involvement I experienced with E.T..
This is by far the best movie I've seen this year...I already want to see it again. It has a little bit of everything - comedy, drama, suspense, sci-fi, action! It's what a movie should be but rarely is these days - worth the price of admission, fun and entertaining.
Kudos on keeping this one under wraps - FINALLY - a great movie after years of crap!!
