Earth to Echo [Blu-ray]

I love the movie. It's good fun for kids and parents imo. It pairs great with the movie "Super 8" it's going on my shelf right next to it.As for the product, the case has a significant crack in the top corner. Luckily Im a collector and I have a donor case thats missing it's blu-ray that will work for it.The "digital HD" code expired in 2017 so I can't use that.Havent unsealed it yet. If there's any other issues I'll make an edit.

I just watched it last night and I think its a cute movie that a family could watch. Its mainly about these three boys. They live in this development that all the families are being forced to move. A highway is going up in this area. So these three boys have something happen to their cell phones. They get like a picture of a map on their phones. So they find this place is in the desert, close to where they live. So for one last adventure they decide to see what it is. What an adventure they got. This little alien is sending them a message on their phones on how to find him. They find they little spaceship and see that it was damaged. This little alien was able to correspond with them with noise. It was able to let them know that he was going to have them help with building a large spaceship. So this little alien was sending message to their cell phones on these places to go on getting parts to repair his damaged ship. They ended up having a girl come with them, because one of the places they got sent to was her house for a bracelet and she catches them in her room. The government knew something happened and knew that these boys were up to something. The government tried to stop this ship from be built, but the kids made it happen any way. At the end they never thought that they would see their little friend again, but sometime later the one cell phone acted up again.

Technically, really well done. The CGI and effects were minimal and excellent. No more, no less than required by the movie.Acting was pretty good for kids. Script was a mediocre rendition of E.T.Unfortunately, the director decided on 100% shaky hand held. This quickly became an annoyance, then detriment. Too bad they couldn't figure out how to only use that only where required as well.

I am not sure what the negative reviewers were expecting when they watched this film, it is not a film intended for an adult audience. This film was made with pre-teens in mind, primarily pre-teen boys! After all of the Disney princess and other feminine films that have been out within the last few years it is a refreshing change to have a film that is something pre-teen boys will enjoy. I rented this for my 12 year old nephew who has been wanting to see this since it was in theaters and he absolutely loved it! I disagree with the reviewers who thought the boys overacted... if you want to see overacting, watch the Disney Channel.The alien, Echo, is just adorable and looks like a mechanical owl type creature. The boys had good character development and growth. I like that it showed regular, average kids who come from traditional middle class families instead of making all three wealthy. The boys were boys-- they got in trouble, they lied, they did things they shouldn't have... but, they did it all to help a tiny little life get to his ship, repair it and go home.This film has a lot of heart and that is something rare in todays films!

This movie has remained a favorite of our son's through the years. It's a quirky, fun adventure for all ages.

A heartwarming story about true friends who do what's right and trust in a peaceful creature they just met. Well worth a view if you want to feel good!

loved it it was a nice movie for kids definitely family time.

Yes, the movie is a cross between E.T. and the photography style of Blair Witch Project. You also have to overlook the fictitious places in Nevada and the housing tracks that look like Southern CA rather than NV. Yes, you can find fault with plot lines - with almost any movie. However, the 12 year old and 6 year old both loved the movie. The 6 year old was in my lap for most of it, cried when there were some emotional parts, but cheered the kids on thru most of the movie (12 year old too). So I prefer to judge/rate a movie by their reaction and not the adult cynical perspective. Further, the movie did not contain the usual glorified violence and/or gutter humor prevalent in most Hollywood PG movies these days. So the film for me was worth 5 stars for family entertainment.

This disc is blank , it has 16 seconds of intro, then nothing. I have been trying to work out what I was doing wrong but have discovered it's not my technical knowledge that's lacking its what's on this DVD.

As a family, we have really enjoyed this film. It's the sort we like to keep so we can watch over and over again. It's quite similar to other films, but this is one of our favourite. Each to their own.

Bought this for when my granchildren visit. Thought i would check it out first and was very disappointed. Excerpts i watched made it look like a take on e.t . How wrong! It is about 3 boys making a home video of their adventures and finding a small alien. This part was way into the film and I was already bored. Children would not get much out of this film and i would not recommend this dvd.

Good nice family film

I was slightly dissapointed with this film because it isn't a typical disney-style adventure, which the ads seemed to suggest, and I think it's the way that it was filmed and edited. It seems to be in a sort of blog/documentary style, with mock youtube clips. It eventually gets going and the story is worth watching - maybe wait for it on the TV!
