Why is this getting such great reviews?

I don't understand how such a horrible movie is getting rave reviews here. The acting was terrible, the camera work even worse. The plot? Please... It's like another attempt as E.T. but this one came up way short. The story is completely unoriginal. The scenes of things blowing up and car wrecks were well done, but, come on, take a train head on and survive? Ridiculous...
I was completely bored. Just seemed like the whole movie was pieced together by kids trying to make a movie, quite frankly. The movements of the creature were jerky and poorly rendered. The creature's existence on Earth was never really explained.
Yeah, things go flying through the air and the train wreck looks great in 3D, but that's about where the good moments end with this movie. Honestly feel that the trailer was better than the whole movie.
Don't waste your time...
