Is this a movie that should be nominated for awards? Absolutely not. Is it more enjoyable than a Transformers movie? Probably. It's kind of like Transformers meets Free Willy with a little bit of Iron Man & Mad Max thrown in. The cgi isn't great, and some of the dialogue is Michael Bay-worthy (2 different characters say the title of this review 30 seconds apart- did they forget to change one line? No one noticed during editing?). However the concept of the monster is interesting, and it was fun seeing it's evolution over the course of the movie. The relationship between the monster and the teen was cute, and it was nice to see that a few characters had full arcs. Family films aren't really my jam, but I thought this was pretty good for one. I got a lot of "Flight of the Navigator"/"Batteries Not Included"/"Short Circuit" vibes.
