E.T.: The Extra – Terrestrial

E.T.: The Extra – Terrestrial is a movie that many people told me was very good. I watched it for the first time this week and I thought it was very good and defiantly deserved the praise given.

E.T. is about a crazy phenomenon that shows a space shuttle full of aliens that lands on Earth, but in a rush has to leave Earth but accidentally leaves one of their people on Earth. The plot shows how E.T. the alien that was left finds friendship with a boy named Elliot and his sister and brother, and his journey home.

This movie is a very good movie. Even though this movie was made many years ago, it definitely is a must see movie for people of all ages. The ang\les of the camera really helped with the tone and mood of the movie. An example being when the cops were searching for anything around where the space shuttle had landed, the angles of the camera helped give the affect that they were rushing and searching for whatever they could find.
The acting in the movie is very well done. I am honestly not a very big Drew Barrymore fan and most of her movies I think about her as a person, and not her character. But in this movie I had a delightful shock part of the way through the movie when the realization that the little girl is Drew Barrymore. I thought the little boy Elliot did a rather good job, but the mother bothered me a bit.
Overall I think the movie was very good and definitely deserves the praises. I would probably give the film 8 Grace Points* because I enjoyed it a lot but it is not my type of movie, and didn’t make me very excited about having watched it.

* Grace points are how many cookies I would give the director/people in the film. If I liked the movie a lot, they get a lot of cookies, but if I don’t like it, then they might very little cookies, or I might even steal cookies from them (as in negative points).
