violinjoe I fell asleep 3 times, on three different occasions, trying to finish this movie. Boring, acting is dull, story is dull, everyone has the same facial expression through the entire movie. Even the action sequences put me to sleep. I really couldn't stand this movie. Awful. Terrible. Don't watch it.
seamus-rae I've seen a lot of negative reviews for this movie calling it joyless and saying that it's confusing. To some extent, both these things are true. This is because the world of the film and the way it is written are both very grounded in reality. As moviegoers, we are so used to characters explaining their motivations to us, and in science fiction movies we expect a genius type character to eventually show up to tell the audience what is going on as it happens. One has to wonder, do all these characters constantly explain themselves to one another? What did they talk about before all of these crazy adventures begin? Jeff Nichol's Midnight Special is not that kind of movie. Watching characters interact is like looking in on the dialogues of real people going through unbelievable circumstances. The writing allows the viewer to interpret what is going on, instead of explaining it to them immediately. This can be confusing for some, but the film is quite clear if you're paying attention. This realistic and mysterious writing fits perfectly in a story that is all about having faith in the unknown and believing in the impossible. I implore anyone who has watched and dismissed this film to give it another chance and watch it under this mindset. It is a truly unique and magnificent film if given the chance.
merelyaninnuendo Midnight SpecialThis is a mere peculiar discussed topic rather than an astonishing tale like a good old E.T. and maybe this is the reason it stands alone on its extraordinary point of view.
kb-13344 The movie is what you would call a different movie or a fresh movie from the general type of sci-fi movie. The film is an unusual story about a special powered boy and his father struggling against the world and their interpretation of the boy's power. Beautiful cinematography and some cool moments about human understanding of the unusual powers are a highlight. It's a slow paced film with a story which is not for everyone. Highly recommended for sci-fi fans who want a fresh new pick for their sci-fi appetite.
