Not a masterpiece by any means when im looking at it as a boring adult; however, as a kid it was most definately a masterpiece.

one of the best and most nostalgic movies i ever seen, i love it with all my heart, watch it

Am i the only one who loved this movie? I know it’s by no means a perfect movie but for what it is, this movie will always have a special place in my heart

The way the film is shot makes it very realistic from the POV of teens making a film. It shows a great representation of friendship with very talented young actors and many intense/emotional scenes.

I can only give this movie 2 stars. Here is my review: 1. Echo is a likeable character but the main characters, I don't like so much. The characters are flat and uninteresting, making it hard to care about their journey. The found footage style of filming is more annoying than engaging, making it hard to follow the story. I especially hate Emma, she's so sassy and her attitude makes me want to throw her out the window. 2. The plot is too general and has no backstory. It is just about some kids trying to send an alien home but a it's not as promising as that. 3. I would like more sci-fi content. 4. I would also like more powerful antagonists. 5. The film’s pacing is uneven, with some parts dragging on while others feel rushed. This inconsistency makes it hard to stay engaged and weakens the overall impact of the story. I like the ending tho.

Watching this again in 2023, absolutely brilliant

I watched this movie in 2016 and a few days ago The reaction was the same I was able to touch with a lot of the characters particularly Alex and munch The story also resonated with me as I know what it feels like to lose friends as next year I'll be going into my fourth school I have no idea why it's so disliked by critics I think it's a brilliant movie. Update from 2025: my thoughts remain unchanged, see you in the stars echo, see you in the stars!

This is one of my favorite movies to this day. i remember being absolutely wowed when i watched it in theaters, never before has an adventure been this exciting. by pretending to be a home video and doing something different from other movies, Earth To Echo is definitely worth your time, and it doesn't deserve the cruel ratings it gets. in my book, an absolute must-watch.

The kids were believable, the adults not so much. The alien is adorable not having a user manual the kids do well to figure out what to do to help it get back home. Questions arise like if he's lost on earth why is he searching for his big ship on earth? Been here before? On a mission? No clue. The plot is thin to be sure but the directing works. Keeps us off balance along with the kids. Good family movie about friendship.

My daughter and I really liked this movie. Good job to the production team!

Idk why the meter is only at 50%. This movie is a masterpiece

This movie, despite some of the other reviews, is fantastic. It's great for younger audiences and not bad for older ones either. It's an interesting concept, being filmed on cameras for the entire movie. There is a sense of adventure and excitement throughout the story. The movie has good comedy and a good story, fun to watch for everyone.

I've rewatched this movie so many times, and it honestly has a place in my heart. Overall I think the movie is pretty good; related to Alex and Munch. Of course it has its moments of cgi and writing that's just :P, but they pass pretty fast. One critique I do have is the character development and just how they were shown as characters. Character traits, fears, etc. could've been slightly better or at least placed in different sections to be better, but nothing can be perfect so good job :). (SPOLIERS) I will say though the moments portraying Munch during and right before he went into the truck was good. It was a nice reminder to the audience that hey, these are still 13 year old's who won't always know better. As well as adding some slight nice insight into his character as well :) Would I recommend you this movie? Definitely. (gooooooo watchhhhhhh itttt pls :D)

this movie is so underrated in my opinion, although not having the highest of production budget it has such a clear and nicely thought out plot and ending I love this movie with all my heart

Loved it! It was like Goonies meets ET, funny and heartwarming. It had mine and my 6 year old grandsons attention from the beginning throughout the entire movie.

Bad watch, probably won't watch again, and can't recommend. I remembered this being decent the first time I watched it, but that was a Vidcon, so maybe it was the hype. This movie is an example of why people don't like found footage, just thrown together as if some stupid kid did it, and then there is active narration and editing from the camera person. That in itself isn't necessarily a bad thing to have happen, but this one is. Found footage should be found, this is more like first person account...or a fake-umentary. Echo itself (it is not a "he") is cute enough but spends a lot of time hiding and there is a communication barrier, but only one way. If it can connect to the smartphone, then it should be able to use the device as a speaker to express the language it understands from the kids. Alot of the movie is just young boys being defiant and "girls have cooties, but I like it". It fails as a "coming of age", it fails as a "romance", and it barely succeeds as sci-fi or "evil secret organization". This had the potential to be the next "E.T.", but they just made weird choices throughout the design.

Yes its true what people are saying for once it has a similar ties to E.T, which was a better film by the way. It just steals the plot line without much improvement, It even steals the concept of the finger touch on its poster. That being said lets talk about the movie, I liked all that found footage stuff, especially to a type of this films. The story was great even though we seen it before, the kids are well acted and all the events that happen were be liable, A good kids movie with a good E.T look alike film. So for this being a good film that I really enjoyed until the end, and delivering some good solid scenes with the modern found footage camera, I give " Earth To Echo " a B-.

I wish I could give this zero stars. It's probably the worst movie I've seen

I liked the movie because of the style it was. People when seeing it probably thought to themselves "oh this is terrible camera work" or "the audio is trash" but I think that that's the very thing that contributes to not only the quality but somewhat of the style of the movie, seeing as how its supposed to be recorded by a bunch of kids. I like the plot too. Its a sweet story, and its always something to want to look at.

Bad, bad everything. Don't even let your kids watch this garbage.
