    again I grew up on those movies and I love it
  • March 12, 2009
    I remember the first time I saw this, I totally fell in love with it. Everytime I catch on TV I get stuck and sit all the way through. This is one of those mobvies that brings me back to my childhood and after all these years I still enjoy it very much.

    Children with psychic abilities journey to discover their origins. Pleasant escapist children's fantasy is pure nostalgia for any adult who saw this movie in their youth.

    A good family film.

    One of my favorites growing up.

    Ah, another one of the movies I saw a lot when I was a kid. Upon re-watching it, I forgot about the origin of the kids (not sure why I blocked that out). I wonder how they managed some of the special effects even now.

    Two gifted children turn out to be aliens and must use their powers to remember their past and escape back to their world.

Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

A scifi thriller that's fun, that's cheerfully implausible, that's scary but not too scary, and it works. full review
