Also a must see.
And family rated.

I remember that one. I think this is likely a better film by far... though I haven't seen Powder in a zillion years.

Why? I came into this game for the action, the excitement... Listen, kid, we're all in it together.

powder wasn't good but it was much better than this crap

It's a combination of Powder and King's Firestarter. Not exactly original but what is these days?

Yes, I thought of powder and firestarter as well. I liked this movie okay.. despite the major flaws. But I reckon I liked the prior 2 better, at least back in the 80s and 90s.

I was thinking "Powder" also. I didn't love that film, but it was much more cohesive than this.

Reminded me of Starman (1984) and roughly, a little of E.T. too.

I was thinking Powder when I saw this as well. And like Powder, neither film really did anything for me. they're alright but not like great.
