Andrew and I went and watched this movie last night after a BBQ with friends. Almost immediately I noticed the movie having a certain quality about it that I haven't seen in a long while. Since Andrew and I are a good 5 years apart in age, and had different upbringings he didn't notice anything particular about the style of filming and direction. This thing had Spielberg written all over it! Lens flares that stretched across the screen, a cast of quirky kids with a mouthy innocence, a monster, and lots of trombone shots and other iconic "Spielberg" shots. Did I mention they use vintage movie camera's? SO COOL.
The thing I loved most about this movie was the cute bantering between the kids and the adventure they have. It really made me feel as though I was watching another Goonies or Indiana Jones, the whole film FELT like my childhood. The graphics were pretty cool and in true Spielberg fashion lots of suspense and jumpy music, I almost feel like this movie was a shout out to fans.
I laughed, I was scared, and overall the movie was very entertaining. So if you're in the mood for a stroll down movie memory lane, this is the flick for you!
