Childhood memories

Rating: Null/10 (29 November 2013)

Just read some reviews complaining about the clichés in this movie and I agree with them. But I guess this is what J J Abrams intended to do.
All I wanted to experience after watching the trailers was to go to the theater and fell like i was back to the 1980s when my mother would take my brothers, sisters and I to see The Gonnies, E.T. and other Spielberg's classics.
Mr Abrams haven't done it for the today's youth. There are clear references for that generation in which I include myself (the events in the movie took place in the exactly year and month I was born). By this point of view, the director fulfilled its goals. The fact Spielberg himself started doing home made movies is one more reference for the old fans.
I wasn't expecting anything original, only to bring back my childhood memories.
