Earth to Echo [2015]

I have a strange confession. Watching 'Earth Echo' this scam fantasy fiction completely shameless "E.T." and almost every friendly film for children that Steven Spielberg has produced or directed - or I even thought about the production or staging. The premise? Three pubescent boys in a subdivision of Nevada who is about to be demolished to give way to a motorway (Yes, just, wink, wink) to receive a strange on their smart phones picture day where you must move soon.

One of these social misfits, whose knowledge and clumsiness fun make up what they lack in a cool place, announces that it has determined the exact nature of this mysterious object. Now, for me, because it has the form of a triangle with rounded edges, it seems that these female reproductive patterns that often appear in gynecological clinics.

Must have a uterus, right? Complete with the ovaries and the fallopian tubes. OK, I went for my annual exam recently and these issues are at the forefront of my mind, so I don't judge so harshly. But, suddenly, he hoped that this would be a boldly original coming-of-age story.

It is not a coincidence. On the other hand, the blob on your phone ends up being only a map to an area abandoned in the desert where a hit overseas, wee, ingenious as cover of what appears to be a metal frame crashed.

That sounds, beeps, repeat sounds and is very nice, this visitor from outer space (nicknamed Echo after suggestions of space Ninja and Master Blaster gain an inch at the bottom) is a descendant of Tribbles, Gremlins, "Short circuit" robot No. 5, "WALL-E", "The Clash of the Titans" Bubo 1981 and perhaps same Chucky psycho snowman. What I know is, without a doubt Furbys have grounds for a claim of copyright.

The constant looting of sources such as "The Goonies", "Stand by Me", "close encounters of the third kind," "Poltergeist" and "Super 8", one tribute greater than Spielberg in itself obscures an original touch that "Miss Earth" brings to the table.

We are witnessing the birth of cinema selfie.

On the surface, seems "eco" is simply the first film found footage, a format for saving money, popularized by "The Blair Witch Project" in 1999 and capitalized by the most recent franchise, 'Paranormal Activity' domesticated to the public elementary school. And video cameras are used correctly - pocket computer, attached to bikes and even a house within a couple of glasses prodigious nerd that could have been borrowed from Michael Caine to 'The Ipcress File.'

The trio of best friends - aspiring filmmaker and great surf Tuck (Brian "astro" Bradley, who apparently was on 'The X Factor'), gadget expert is comic and "acquired taste" Munch (Reese Hartwig) herself and breeding serious emo Alex (Teo Halm) - register not only their last night together to share their incredible adventures with the world on YouTube after biking 20 miles to see where that leads the map. There are also tests that are not invisible, despite the way tyrants and popular in school students abused or ignored, by their movie stars. Why people put their poses sensual self-portrait on Facebook? To demonstrate that they are important?

Certainly the trio of 'Earth echo' cannot remain around to take pictures of themselves with their phones, but they reach the tracking even goal of their own reactions to the strange events: confirming that exist and forcing others to recognize its importance in the world.

Much of the film is dedicated to the help of kids eco to find missing parts so you can, as E.T., go home. They use a night Pajamas as an excuse for the night going to several places such as suggested by their exotic friend. Visit a barn, a pawn shop, a bar and a part of the school, with varying degrees of adverse outcomes. They also have a car for the first time following the instructions from google.

I am or it is not a good idea in one movie addressed to impressionable young people under 16 years of age? Especially if it will not be an intergalactic Bird on Board that can dismantle a truck, and then put together it so that it does not hit you head (no doubt, very neat Visual trick).

Eco can be entertaining in their reactions and the relationship between the guys at first feels organic and unforced. But there are some illogical detours. What
