They were laughing a lot by making jokes and they thought the little echo robot was adorable. Available for everyone, funded by readers. Some disturbance with their smartphones convinces them that something is going on underground and that the authorities have a secret interest in digging up the land their houses are on. Terrible. Echo is an amazing alien and I loved his character. We got in for an early screening of this movie, not knowing quite what it would be, just that it had kids and a cute little alien. I would NOT recommend this movie. Now make it three. I'm starting to wonder if movie studios are not paying people to come on sites like this to praise terrible movies like Earth to Echo. I guess similarities could be drawn with ET but only in as far as it's a Sci Fi film with kids in it. Between the sub-par acting and the lackluster storyline, I would encourage you, for two hours instead of watching this movie try doing something more constructive with your life. These performances hurt the found footage gimmick, which must feel natural in order to work. Far too many times we have seen trailers that show us all of the big highlights of movies but these highlights make up about 5% of the films real premise. As lovably '80s as Reece's Pieces and pop socks. I took my Grandson to see this movie thinking it would be a nice non- animated movie. The movie was presented well, and was shown in the characters point of view, I would recommend this to the whole family! Comments. I REALLY enjoyed it, my 5 YO son and 6 YO daughter did so and want to buy it right away.
(What is?) Earth to Echo review – a contemporary homage to Steven Spielberg's ET 3 / 5 stars 3 out of 5 stars. The turns the guys took on the bikes to follow the map made us laugh. Then they make an extra-terrestrial friend and are set on a collision course with the heartless and cynical grownup world. At the end of which I was really looking forward to the movie, it was unfortunate that the gentleman who did the introduction left afterward's, I would have enjoyed telling him this in person. It is a smart, visually dynamic film, but audiences may miss Spielberg's wonderment.
I would also like it to be noted that while I'm not a person who generally write reviews I made it a point to make sure that I forewarned other individuals considering going to see this movie, do not to do it!!! Plus the premise is stupid. Convinced something bigger is going on, they go to their parents and the authorities.
There is something rotten in Denmark when I keep seeing loads of professional and user reviews that tout how great awful movies are on sites like this one and many others like it. By Geoff Berkshire. And yet, Earth To Echo conjures up a unique charm of its own, finding plenty of heart and humour in the friendships between a trio of small boys teetering on the brink of growing up. I loved Earth to Echo, brilliant movie!!! It looks like a home movie. Was not impressed at all the trailer is grotesquely misleading.
