Like a fist wrapped in blood...
This movie is a throwback to the era of early 80s sci-fi, and succeeds very well at the beginning. There are some even some really effective moments, especially the romance building between the two lead characters. However, it starts to devolve into increasingly convoluted scenarios in the second half, as well as way too many winks at the camera over the cultural and technological state of things at the period it takes place in. The relationship between the kids and the alien also feel pretty forced.

3/5
