It feels like an old sci-fi movie in the 1960s and 1970s. It is a movie that belongs to a senior sci-fi fan. The narrative technique is very powerful. The long absence of aliens is probably the reason why many people are disappointed. ★★★★

The sci-fi thriller version of "Along with Me", "ET"-style simple and warm retro feeling, but in the attitude and mind of the alien civilization, it is still worse than the latter. The scene of the little boy holding the flying necklace in his hand is beautiful, and his vision alone is comparable to the classic moment of finger touching in "ET". JJ's script is still very solid, regardless of whether the mood is rendered or the rhythm of the scene is not rushed, step by step, 8mm and the zombie film are really strong.

Alice Dainard: What was that necklace? The one you were holding at the train crash. Was it your mom's?
Joe Lamb: My dad gave it to her the day I was born. She wears it all the time. Well, used to. And... It was bad how she died and... But my dad got it back.

Joe Lamb: [old home movies of Joe's late mother playing] It's... It's so weird. Watching her like this. Like she's still here. She used to look at me this way, like really look, and I just knew I was there, that I existed.
Alice Dainard: He drank that morning, My dad. He missed his shift.

Alice Dainard: Your mom took it for him, the day of the accident,
[long pauses. Fighting back tears]
Alice Dainard: He... He, um... He... He wishes... I know he wishes it was him instead of her. And sometimes I do, too.
Joe Lamb: Don't... Don't say that. He's your dad.
