L j I saw this movie in 1986 in a military movie theater in Texas when I was a young 1-stripe Airman. The premise seemed interesting, but the overall movie was total crap. Complete exploitation of the kid with Progeria syndrome who plays the alien, and quite frankly couldn't act to save his life, which was short. None of the cast could, save for say Jack Elam who was at the end of his acting career. (Loved him by the way, especially in Rio Lobo). Avoid at all costs, because you'll never get those 90 minutes of your life back! Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 09/10/25 Full Review Audience Member Super tragic ending for a kids' movie--for any movie. The entire movie was warm-hearted and hopeful, then boom it ends in death. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review Audience Member The worst movie I have ever seen. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review Audience Member Well meaning, but the low budget of the film very much effects it's impact. None of the acting is good, nor bad for that matter. The basic premise is an interesting one, it's a shame the fimmakers didn't do more with it. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review Audience Member If you're a fan of DJ Shadow's album "Endtroducing". You will find a familiar sample from this movie.
