Bringing back teen friend sci-fi adventure
The last night for a group of friends turns into an
adventure that’s out of this world in “Earth to Echo.”
The story revolves around preteens and is a good movie
for the whole family.
Alex, played by Teo Halm, Tuck, played by Astro, and
Munch, played by Reese Hartwig, are a group of friends
preparing to move away.
On their last night together they set out to investigate
some strange occurrences.
Halm seems like the shy one of the group but manages
to entice audience into the story through the portrayal of
the strong emotions his character goes through.
Astro comes off as the comedic relief with quick-witted
comments.
Hartwig has a look which makes his character
believable.
During their journey they find echo, a small alien trying
to make it’s way back home.
Their adventure starts as three young friends follow a
map they discover on their smart phones after they start
acting crazy.
The map leads them to the middle of no where, where
they find an alien.
The alien has crash landed and is in need of help. The
three young friends decide to help the alien, which they
name Echo, as best they can.
Echo uses the team’s cellphones to help them on their
adventure.
Echo projects maps to locations where they can find
parts for Echo’s ship.
The ending comes to a satisfying end with a positive
message that encourages youth.
I give this film 4 out of 5 popcorns. It’s a good family
film that gives homage to classic sci-fi.
