Jen Fully funny movie. The kids are so cute. And subtitles made it easier although the acting was so goodly simple that you can just tell whats going on. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/06/22 Full Review ranny l Maika: The Girl from Another Galaxy is an adorable and impeccably-filmed story of friendship and exploration. It's the perfect sci-fi adventure for the whole family this Labor Day. Maika: The Girl from Another Galaxy follows the story of Hung (Phu Truong Lai), a young boy in Vietnam. After Hung's mother Hang (Elyse Dinh) passes away from lung disease, and he loses his best friend My to an unexpected move to Saigon, he discovers a crashed spaceship and makes a new friend, Maika (Chu Diep Anh), with powers. Together, they embark on fun-filled adventures while taking on various villains like the head of an aeronautical company before helping Maika find her way back to her home planet. Ham Tran's direction truly ties this film together; even though the film is based on a Czechoslovakian TV series that became a cultural sensation in Vietnam in the 1980s and '90s, it comes across as an original film. My favorite part of the film was the special effects, as I think it should be in a sci-fi film. When Maika does her "magic," purple beams emanate from her fingers; it is beautiful! The performances by Chu Diep An as Maika and Hung by Phu Truong Lai steal the show; I was moved by Lai's emotive performance in the initial scenes where his mother is hospitalized, and An's chirpy, bubbly character stole my heart. Maika: The Girl from Another Galaxy promotes finding your own adventures, fostering positive friendships, and overall being a good, virtuous person. There is one scene to watch out for where Maika, unaware of Earthly social norms about clothing, pounces on Hung naked; she is shown from the neck up, though. I give Maika: The Girl from Another Galaxy 4 stars out of 5 and recommend it for ages 8 to 12. Maika: The Girl from Another Galaxy debuts on digital outlets on September 6, 2022. By Eshaan M., KIDS FIRST! Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Peter My friends and family just went to see MAIKA. We all LOVE IT!!!! We were so impressed with the vivid colors of the film , especially the scenes of DANANG, with the grande and beauty of BANA and CAU VANG (So proud of DANANG now). The Emotion expressed by HUNG is so touching. He conveyed all his feelings to us, our young niece (10 years old) cried so much with HUNG, when he lost his Mom and when he worried about MAIKA going to die. TINTIN is so funny. The Film has a sense of humor to make us laugh, too. And MAIKA is so cute. Her big, round eyes are so lovely. The friendship of MAIKA and HUNG is such a good example for our children. For THANH, KIM NHA and all other movie characters, they are just as excellent as our tiny movie stars. At the end, the Film also has sent out a human message when HUNG holds the meteorite-chain on his heart with deep love. His loving energy has transmitted to the universe and finally touched MAIKA and gave her this loving energy (not the meteorite energy) and healed her. What a wonderful conclusion! Thank you SOOO MUCH for giving us a wonderful entertaining evening with MAIKA, THE GIRL FROM ANOTHER GLAXY. WE ALL LOVE IT! Thank you a whole bunch, Peter Nguyen Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/19/22 Full Review Audience Member Adorable movie!! My entire family loved it.
