Earth to Echo (2014)

Thanksgiving came early this year. This movie was a real turkey, to say the least. I've never written a review before. This is my first, but I thought it was my duty to save you the agony, let alone the expense, of watching this movie. T he actors were amaturish. They stole the plot from E.T.. Back in the 80's and 90's there was a slew of kids-saving-aliens movies which were not particularly any good and I didn't think it could be done, but this one was even worse. The production company saved a whole lot of money by filming the whole thing with a cell phone. Not really, but that's what they wanted it to appear to be. That's why it was jerking all over the place. You get shots of kid's feet, the ground, and so on. Probably the most expense of the whole movie was Randy Disher, the lieutenant from the Monk tv series. Bad acting, bad photography, and the sound track was nothing to write home about. You couldn't ask for more. So take my advice and stay away from this turkey. It's not even worth renting. I wish I had my $22.50 back.

I should have read the reviews before watching this movie. Neither my husband nor I could watch this movie because of the shakiness of the filming. I would definitely say do not watch this movie. It was a waste of money. It could have been a great film if they simply used a tripod instead of the hand held cameras. I really wish they would stop trying to film movies like this.

MOTION SICK, MOTION SICK through out the whole movie. The kids friendship is endearing, but that's it. The traveling time and distance for the kids on their bikes was unrealistic, but who cares when your head is spinning like a top and your trying not to upchuck your popcorn and soda on the person in front of you while watching the movie. My recommendation "don't take a child that in anyway gets motion sick."
