Classic JJ Abrams, interesting storyline that goes nowhere.

Rating: 6/10 (30 June 2020)

Initially the storyline had me intrigued, a train crashes very dramatically if rather unrealistic, caused by a man who warns the children that they'll kill them if they caught them, or something or other. So it's basically another alien/ government cover up type film. People go missing, the airforce is covering things up. Unfortunately just as I was expecting it to get exciting, we learn that all the alien wants is to get home. "Oh? That's it?" I thought. So it's pretty standard JJ Abrams, builds up to an interesting story, only to make it predictable and derivative. I mean an alien that was captured by the governent done experiments on, and wants to go home? Come on he could of done better than that.
