I don’t know about you, but combining Steven Spielberg and JJ Abrams (Star Trek, Lost, Alias) seems like a genius idea; they’re like the kings of fantasy, the supernatural and special effects. Lucky for us their combined efforts evoke all of the above, weaving a story that is reminiscent of E.T, but as fresh as any 2011 release.After a bunch of kids witness a frightening train accident (while secretly shooting their own zombie movie) they realise that something bigger is at play when strange things start happening in their small town. Determined to get to the bottom of the mystery, the kids defy the sudden appearance of the US military and find themselves in the middle of a national cover-up. This is fantasy and escapism at its best.
Rating: 4 outta 5.
