Your thoughts: Personally, I love the movie. I like movies set in this era, seeing what life was like, how kids entertained themselves before the era of personal electronics coming out our *sses. I also am a huge fan of Sci-Fi movies. I saw this movie for the first in the cinemas one day with my mum and brother. We had never heard of it, but a coworker of my mums recommended it to her. We came about of the cinemas shocked at how much we enjoyed it. The characters are somewhat relatable, and the plot, thought it isn't comedy based, allows for a few laughs, which I like.
Pros:
~Set in a time I enjoy
~Unique plot
~Somewhat unpredictable
~Provides a few laughs
Cons:
Spoiler Alert
Spoiler:

Personally I both loved and hated the ending, when Joe let's go of his mothers necklace. I like how it is symbolic of him somewhat moving on from her death, but then again, considering how little time it has been since her passing, it seems inappropriate. I wouldn't know, I have never lost a parent.

Favourite part: My favourite part would have to be any scene where the pyromaniac kid blows something up. He is one of my favourite characters, and the look on his face when he is told to make a distraction is priceless.
