Reel Talk:
With Steven Spielberg as producer and J.J. Abram as director, what really needs to be said? As you watch this film, you will most definitely be reminded of several of the previous movies these two were involved with. This is a good action, suspense movie that will have you wondering to the end. You will also be charmed by the performances from the cast of young actors and actress as they each offer their individual twist to their characters. This is a good family movie that is worth checking out.
