Martian Child (2007)
6/10
Disappointing
9 November 2007
I enjoyed the story about the man taking in the little boy who claimed to be from Mars. I liked the way it developed--maybe the child could actually be from Mars? The progression of the relationship between the man and boy was good. The acting was mostly fine.

Just about everything else was poor. It seemed cheap and amateurish. Lighting was often too bright. Sets were unattractive. Pacing was a problem. There were several times when I wanted to have a nap (which is not normal for me!) because there wasn't anything interesting happening. I remained attentive in case something important might happen, but it didn't. I left the theater feeling it had been mostly a waste of my time and money.
