Review of Cocoon (1985) by David Ansen for Newsweek — 09 Mar 2006
My only major criticism of Cocoon is the ending, which needlessly places the film in familiar extraterrestrial movie territory. Without giving too much away, either most of the characters should have made a different decision or the film should have had courage to jump off into a completely different direction.
Special visual effects are wonderful, but the human being is still the greatest special effect of all.
