"1) Hard working blue collar families have no fun. 2) Well educated white collar families are really great. 3) Its okay for a female teacher to take one male student on a field trip without anyone else knowing. 4) Class bullies are the victims of child abuse. 5) School security is very poor. 6) A child's imagination is sometimes pretty boring. 7) The best way to inform a child that their best friend is dead is to just blurt it out. 8) Advertising your film as a light children's fantasy when in reality it is a dark juvenile drama is okay if you are Disney."

"A space probe has brought back a mysterious metamorphosing molecular life form. The real story is a combination of running away form the bug and what is our government up to type of paranoia. These two themes are well integrated. This may sound strange but 'Andromeda Strain' is dated (or***riod piece) and the premise would not be unique today. Today the bug would have to eat your cell phone. This movie is a classic and anyone replacing the original characters would always be compared to the original. Still it is fun to watch and say 'Don't do that!' "

"Don't read the last revew unless you want the movie runied !!! Major Spoiler.. I have reported to amazon hopefully it get's removed !!!"

"I thought this movie was brilliant on so many levels. It does have some very sad moments though. Watching it as an adult was bittersweet for two reasons. It is bitter due to the real-life tragedy this story is based on and sweet because of the inherent innocence of our two protagonists. It's hard not to love these characters. Adults will find themselves reminiscing about their own childhoods. Children however, will probably be slightly traumatized by the subject matter here. Fantastic film. Highly recommended! Parents should watch with their young children to explain the sad moments though:)"
