Review of Earth to Echo (2014) by Marcus M — 01 Mar 2015
If I was ten years old, I'd be obsessed with this film. It's definitely aimed at that demographic, but I realized that going into it. Earth to Echo isn't great, especially when compared to the classic films it's trying to imitate, but it is a decent little flick that I enjoyed.
It takes elements of movies like The Goonies and E.T., combining them in a modern day setting. Certain aspects almost feel like a rip-off at times, but I don't think the director is trying to hide the obvious influence.
For a movie like this, the cast is pretty decent. Yeah, some of the dialogue is pretty cringe-worthy, but I was constantly reminding myself who this was aimed towards. Kids should eat this movie up. It's a nice little throwback.
Nothing amazing, but fun.
