I remember seeing this as a little boy in the cinemas when it came out, and back then I was mesmerised and awed by the story and the new things shown from it. I remember that my younger me was wishing for something like this to happen to me. The same thing I wished from Star Wars and E.T.. It really fired up my imagination, such was the impact of this movie (and others like it).
Now, nearly 37 years later, the story is still as fresh. Sure, the graphics now looks dated - even modern video games have better graphics - but the movie and it's story telling has held the test of time. A true 80s classic.
Nowadays, most movie makers rely on CGI and big cinematic moments to wow the viewers, but with the script generally left wanting. Back in the 80s, movie makers really focused on the story telling. Coupled that with great scripts and capable directors, plus a dose of wonderful actors, produces quality classics. The 80s really produced some great movies that have stood the test of time like, E.T., Indiana Jones, Star Wars, Back to the Future, My Science Project etc.
VERDICT? Get the popcorn ready, it's a must see classic movie for the whole family.
