Many credits for the first half hour; very good. Then another half hour you're thinking, please, please don't let it be aliens. And then...
in the beginning, the story that you know from the trailer is laid out very rapidly; the kid is no longer on the pictures and she's the only that seems to think he ever lived. That start is very good, therefore the trailer got to me and i saw the movie. however, what they do not hint at (recognise it in hindsight though) is that it is very alien-related. Only two or three scary shots though. the idea starts with the cloud in the sky and then builds. Never spoken about in the movie, you can't get around it; aliens. it would have been a lot better if they had used the initial idea (you kid is no longer there and you are the only one who knows he ever lived) and made into an FBI or NSA experiment instead of an alien one. Awful, awful ending completes the picture.
