Spoilers Ahoy.
A solid movie, good casting good acting and the premise of a good story, some lovely shots and interesting ideas.
However it sits on the line of Jesus this is becoming boring and i'll wait and see how it pans out.
Pans out I should have left, not much story for the audience to stick with and so many subtle gestures and nods between cast members the tread is very very thin.
The idea is interesting enough a boy with unknown special powers that the US Gov thinks they can capture him and use him as a weapon, but no reason as to why they think this.
The decoding of Gov transmissions via satellites to find a location is neither explained or has any real tangible reason to be in such a location as others had been shown parts of the layered on civilization before and not at the special location.
Two hours of not really knowing what the kids power or purpose was all he does some nodding/longing and barley 2 paragraphs of dialogue, stares and vanishes off into this other world he is part of.
There is some average CGI to show off this world for about 60 seconds and SLAM the end.
No reason as to why he needs to go / why he was afraid of day light / why the US wanted him as a weapon.
An E.T idea in principle for the modern day but not very exciting and leaves all questions unanswered, if there is to be a sequel I won't be spending my money on it again. . .
Average movie for a rainy day on rental, worth the cinema price NO, worth the price of a DVD possibly.
