I watched this movie after 26 years for the first time and i do not know why i wait so long, i love it.

scared the shit out of me when i was a kid… i thought this was gonna happen to me and my little sister being older than me is like my worst nightmare…

This is one of the very first movies I saw as a kid, and I’m so glad it was. This is a cult classic that helped rocket me into my fascination with anything and everything sci-fi. It was imaginative and well written; and a common movie I recommend to younger generations that have a true interest in fun, imaginative sci-fi, that can set aside its age, and appreciate it for what it was and still is for us who grew up in the 80s and had the pleasure of experiencing this movie when it first came out.

Another EPIC children's movie. The CGI holds up pretty darn good for how old the movie is. The ship and creature design is excellent and for the most part the story works except for the 80s montage which moves the plot well, doesn't take up too much time but logically stretches the bounces of the imagination. Paul Reubens aka Pee-Wee Herman was a perfect choice for a wacky space ship in the 80s. He bloody nailed it.

The movie was surprisingly great up until the point where the ship copies that boys head and started to be the most insufferable thing for 45 minutes...
