      What to Know

      Critics Consensus

      Earth to Echo doesn't do itself any favors by beggaring comparison to E.T., but for younger viewers, it should prove a reasonably entertaining diversion.

      Joe McGovern Entertainment Weekly The mildewed found-footage technique allows some tension to build from offscreen action, but also renders the knockoff John Williams score inexplicable. Rated: C- Dec 3, 2014 Full Review Mark Kermode Observer (UK) Worth seeing for those who haven't seen it all before. Rated: 3/5 Jul 26, 2014 Full Review Donald Clarke Irish Times If you distilled this not intolerable film into a bottle, you could happily market it is as Essence of Spielberg. Rated: 3/5 Jul 25, 2014 Full Review Robert Sims Lights Camera Austin From start to finish, Earth to Echo wants to jog our memories about the unforgettable experiences we have experienced with our best friends. Jan 22, 2022 Full Review Richard Crouse Richard Crouse Amiable but not terribly exciting. It has a distinct direct-to-video vibe, despite at least one eye-popping sequence of a truck being dismantled and reassembled. Rated: 2/5 Feb 1, 2021 Full Review Mike Massie Gone With The Twins While the child actors all give admirable performances, the dialogue and plot fail to capture the creativity and suspense their predicament promises. Rated: 2/10 Dec 4, 2020 Full Review Read all reviews

      Archived C Watching this again in 2023, absolutely brilliant Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/11/23 Full Review Liam M I watched this movie in 2016 and a few days ago The reaction was the same I was able to touch with a lot of the characters particularly Alex and munch The story also resonated with me as I know what it feels like to lose friends as next year I'll be going into my fourth school I have no idea why it's so disliked by critics I think it's a brilliant movie Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/29/23 Full Review Team ink Interactive E This is one of my favorite movies to this day. i remember being absolutely wowed when i watched it in theaters, never before has an adventure been this exciting. by pretending to be a home video and doing something different from other movies, Earth To Echo is definitely worth your time, and it doesn't deserve the cruel ratings it gets. in my book, an absolute must-watch. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/03/23 Full Review Eli G Omigod, this is the movie from my childhood. I must have watched it ten thousand times. How does this only have a 40%? The characters are believable, the plot is immersive, and the lessons are great. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review Trevor R Earth to Echo was a great movie of my childhood, the fact that people are just abandoning good movies like this nowadays is is just wrong. Truly another timeless classic that should be left to rot. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/17/23 Full Review reznor h i love thi movie its my favorate coming to age movie and people who havent seen it should definitly give it a watch Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/08/22 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
