Midnight Special


The sci-fi project, set in present day, follows a father and son who are forced into going on the run when the eight-year-old boy develops some kind of extraordinary power.

I really enjoyed this movie.  It just had an awesome feel about it.  It jumped right in without any explanation about why the boy is special or why they are on the run but you dont care.  Its filmed in a way that you are totally hooked without all the development and what not.  Loved that.  Its that kind of feel that made me fall in love with movies in the first place.  It takes you on a ride and you fully enjoy it even though you cant put your finger on why.  Add to that how simple it was for what is pretty much a sci fi movie with no special effects and that just makes me appreciate this film more.

I would absolutely recommend people checking this movie out.  It is a very great watch with such a natural hook due to storytelling simplicity that most movies massively miss the target on.
