Short Version: This is a good movie, Go watch it! It follows a group of kids who stumble upon a military accident. The film is set in the late 70's in rural Ohio. There is a lot of language in this movie along with action, suspense as well as some good special affects. I'm giving this an (A) because it has good acting and a believable story line to a certain degree. The whole military coverup part.
Long Version: This movie is packed with a lot of things: action, adventure, mysterious phenomenon, love and comedy too! There were actually quite a few spots where everyone was laughing. The movie starts out with a group of young kids that are filming their own movie. They are set up at an old train station and decide to start recording when a train rolls through. Out of the blue a truck is driving along and pulls out in front of the train which causes a huge accident. The train derails and the kids strangely survived all of this.
Spoiler Alert** If you haven't seen this movie and want to don't read anymore! It is worth paying to go see!
The train that was derailed belonged to the US Air Force and they were hauling precious cargo. An alien from another planet and it's technologically advanced ship. Of course this alien breaks free of it's cage during the crash and sets off into town. The kids decide that they will tell no one about what they saw and when they get the film developed from their camera they could work the crash into the movie. Waiting on the film to be developed, which takes about 3 days in the 70's, the kids begin to investigate the crash.
Soon people begin disappearing. Several car engines have vanished along with microwaves and generators. The alien has taken them for one purpose, to build a ship. The kids, in their investigation, find the studies of their biology teacher whom knows all about this creature. He formerly worked for the Air Force as a scientist and came in contact with the alien. From the studies the children find out that the alien landed on Earth back in the 50's and the military has had it locked up since. When touched by the creature a connection is made and he can communicate with you.
This alien creature has been trapped here for nearly 20 years and only wants to go home. But the military has made it impossible for him as well as turned him against the human race. As odd as it may seem, the kids do more to save their town, country and humanity more than anyone else. They manage to save the day.
Also right after the credits start, stick around to see the movie that the kids made! You'll get a good laugh out of it!
