Finn G Apr 13, 2019 Alton has abilities a human boy shouldn't have. Because of that the government is after him, but that is not the only thing. Alton grew up in a cult that highly believes in his abilities to "communicate with the Lord". As Alton, his father Roy and their friend Lucas try to run from everything they get all their answers on the way, but not without obstacles. The one word that popped up in my head when the movie started and pretty much stand there the rest of the time was vague. Because everything was just simply very vague. Although you do get some answers once you're further into the movie of course, I still ended up with a lot of question marks floating around in my head in the end. It was a very interesting story and I enjoyed it. That's why I want to know more about it. The movie was almost 2 hours long and in that time you think I should know more about everything but I hardly do. There were a lot of scenes where not much was happening. I wouldn't have minded if they used that time to give me more information instead of people staring ahead. It was fun to see Jaeden Lieberher again. I really enjoy his acting and think he has done great work so far for someone of such a young age. It's always a pleasure to have Michael Shannon and Joel Edgerton around and Adam Driver was a surprisingly fun character as well! I felt like Kirsten Dunst had one of her standard characters, it wasn't a disappointment or anything, but nothing surprising or special either. Midnight Special was a fun watch that I would recommend, although you are left with a lot of unanswered questions afterwards (and that is something that frustrates me a lot. Oh well). See more

Anakin S Dec 30, 2018 Its an ok sci-fi . The introductions were short and cloudy . That could have been done better. The cult played a surprisingly miniscule role in the movie. The boy was not introduced well . Nearly all the characters backgrounds relating to the story is barely scraped upon the surface. It leaves you wondering and trying to understand who these people are and WHY ? on your own. In the end its ok but its not at all legendary. See more

Draco M Nov 1, 2018 It has some nice intrigue and tension but overall it just didn't come together for me. I would much rather watch that again using boxxy software. See more

Kylo S Sep 3, 2018 Quite a good an enjoyable film although not one I would watch again.

Albus L May 7, 2018 A very enjoyable movie. Intense, intelligent and emotionally engaging. Highly recommended.
