Big YAWN of a movie

Rating: 3/10 (27 December 2011)

The best way to see a good movie is to go into it knowing as little about it as you can so I try not to include details about the movies in my reviews. If the movie sucks then I'm not shy about including details and/or spoilers.
This movie was so boring, flat and totally a waste of time and here is why: basically J.J. Abrams was trying to make a Steven Spielberg type of alien/kiddie movie. It was like a coming of age movie with bad acting, the wrong story back-setting and just nothing. Is it an alien movie? Is it a kids flick? Is it a small town flick? Whatever it is it is a sleeper.

We see the alien at the very end and by that time you really don't even care because you just want the movie to be over and done. I really need to learn how to stop watching a bad movie to completion. I just kept watching because I thought it would get better.. it didn't.
AVOID.
