Above all, this is a movie for young teens. If you want to see a budding romance between 7th graders, I recommend it. Otherwise let it pass. The suspense scenes are professionally done but nothing different from what you have seen a hundred times before. Alien was suspenseful, this movie is very weak tea compared to that movie. It's all very Hollywood formula friendly. There are emotional conflicts between the parents and kids and there is a nice reconciliation at the end. The train crash is well done and the child actors did a good job. The late 70s setting is interesting because the whole movie has the feeling of an early Spielberg movie. The plot revelations reminded me of LOST. If you have kids, you will not want them using the bad language that the kids in this film use. Overall I'd say save your money. I wish I did.
