Orphan Elio dreams of being abducted by aliens more than anything in the world. It sounds overly simplistic, but this is a movie where you really have to put yourself into the mind of a child in order to get the most out of it and experience the boundless imagination and wonder it has to offer. Even as it descends into maudlin territory and eventually loses the plot by the end.
Visually, Pixar's latest is dazzling and astounding and in a league of its own, and Rob Simonsen's score sets the stage for a fun, epic sci-fi adventure.
