Viewing Notes
via Netflix
When a construction project begins in their neighborhood, four friends start receiving bizarre encoded messages on their cell phones that lead them on one last adventure before they have to move. Sort of a cross between E.T., Super 8 and The Goonies, Earth to Echo never quite lives up to any of them, but still manages to stand on it own through the charm of Echo. There are points where the effects work just falls apart in this and unfortunately its the big moments, but the story itself is cute and while I hate the found footage format, this did put a smile on my face and maybe a tear or two at the end.
