jeannie p Ohh, now i get why this movie gets mentioned so often. As a total wuss who won’t watch violent or disturbing movies, i cheated about halfway and checked the Wiki to see if watching to the end might be an option - big surprised grin seeing the synopsis for the second half, and it was every bit as enjoyable knowing what’s gonna happen. The general vibe of this film reminded me of Repo Man, eventually, getting increasing chuckles of glee out of me, and rapture that some people made a film on this kind of subject that I actually found satisfying, nothing grating, I don’t think I bitched at the TV a singl- no wait there was that One Bit where I scolded Kirsten Dunst for letting them make her do the stereotypical Female Does Suffering scene for a few seconds there, but the rest was A-ok, for Me : ) Loved the parenting style - treating small human as an equal, and with care. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/25/25 Full Review Webb V Clear you mind and don't assume, question, or quibble, and just maybe the story will carry you away to a nice place. I don't often give out 5's but found nothing to keep me from doing so with one. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/20/25 Full Review Stoner J Great sci-fi drama with a thrilling end. Reminded me so much of the movie D.A.R.Y.L. I loved as a kid Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/07/25 Full Review A J Brilliant acting in the this sci-fi meets No Country for Old Men. Loved it! Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/07/24 Full Review Sharang L Just enough tension and emotion to keep you hooked. And an all-star cast doesn't hurt. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 11/11/24 Full Review Dave B A series of cliches that have been done before with considerably more panache, more engaging characters and better acting (Firestarter, Stranger Things, Hanna, Raising Dion, Looper just to name a few of the recent ones). Plot: Child with miraculous powers pursued by The Gub'mint and (to add some variety) a few religious fruitcakes. The religious types make a few inconsequential cameo appearances before they seem to lose interest and wander off, leaving the standard chased-by-the-Deep State action sequences to get out of the way before the movie grinds to a halt. Performances were universally awful. All the protagonists just looked bored & irritated, as if they were stuck in a laundromat on Sunday afternoon and their phone had gone flat. You had no idea of any of their motivations from the outset, and an hour + later you just didn't care. They seemed to think what they were doing was important enough to shoot people but that was never explained, even in the end. Frankly, I am shocked that the consensus score is as high as it is.
