5.0 out of 5 stars I expected to watch about 5 minutes...
I expected to watch about 5 minutes, get something to eat, and go to bed. The description looked pretty lame, but I figured, "check it out for free on Prime, see a few minutues of it, then do something else". When I noticed it was a Nickelodeon movie, I started thinking, "oh, it's a kids movie, not a weird indie film or an odd horror flick. I liked Nacho Libre. Okay, let's give it ten minutes, then I'll go do something else."I don't want to give any spoilers, so I'll just say this: Good movie for kids, kind of follows an E.T./Black Stallion/Free Willy styled theme of 'troubled kid with no friends befriends exotic creature and vows to save it from the bad guys'. Nothing altogether new here, just an old story done a different way.Some random thoughts:1. Main character high school kid is a little too overly clean (no scrapes, bruises, or burns on arms, or face, etc...) and un-scarred to be a skilled mechanic or welder. Mechanics and welders ALWAYS have plenty of scars, scrapes, and bruises. He's a little too young and unskilled to know how to build the things he does in such a short amount of time. He's a little too buff to be an outcast, and looks like he would be at home on a high school football team. I mean, the kid is pretty stocky and barrel chested for never being seen lifting weights.2. The leading lady would probably lose interest in a kid like that in real life, though the 'tutor' angle makes it work so she 'has' to be around him. She would likely, in real life, get sick of his crap pretty quickly unless she was a mistreated (daddy issues or something) and obsessed teenager with low self esteem.But these points have more to do with the writing and direction than with the actual actors themselves. And it's a kid's movie, so I'm not keeping a high standard here. The film works in its own way, and over-analyzing it like this only serves to ruin the magic of cinema. It's good for what it was intended to be.One of the bad guys reminded me of Jeremy Renner, and I think the movie would have been more fun if they had gotten Jeremy Renner to do the part (because I like Jeremy Renner), but that's just a meaningless random thought.There was not a lot of depth to the characters, but the character transformations that needed to occur for the film to work did happen. I did not think the acting was overall bad like some reviewers said, but then again, I'm no actor so who am I to tell them how to do their jobs? I mean, basically, the film was what it needed to be for a fun family movie, but not everyone is going to like it. I doubt I would watch it again just for the sake of watching it again, but I don't regret having seen it. The kid actors have potential if they stick to their craft.There is a market for 'straight to DVD' movies. To the best of my knowledge, guys like Martin Scorsese and Oliver Stone don't direct those kind of movies. I think some of the 1-star reviewers had their expectations a little too high for this one.I didn't turn it off and go do something else.
5.0 out of 5 stars Good, clean fun for all ages
We are very picky with what we show our children, and both my 4 daughter and 6 year old son absolutely love this movie. It is a clean movie with a slight romantic undertone as well a reference to separated parents and a distant father, but it is really fun and action-packed and the story lines are mild in nature. There is a sea monster, but you find out early on into the film that it is friendly and sweet, and I don't think it's too scary looking - kind of like an octopus with a puppy dog face. My son loves the monster trucks in it, and I would recommend it for any ages for a fun, family movie night.
5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect!
Me and my daughter love this movie!
5.0 out of 5 stars A Surprisingly Good Movie
I watched this movie with my wife on Bolo Prime Movies. I didn't expect much from it, but surprisingly it was a good movie. It is made to be a family movie, so the plot is fairly simple and easy to understand. The movie was entertaining and there wasn't a single point in the movie that I was bored. We don't have kids yet, but I would recommend this movie to anybody who has kids because it is a fun movie that is family friendly. It exceeded my expectations by far, and that's why it earned my five star rating.
4.0 out of 5 stars It is not a very accurate view of Oil Companies at all!
I actually really like the movie but folk being a engineer and have actually worked for Environmental companies and research labs in the field on drilling rigs for 49 yrs. This is not a good example of how things actually happen on a blow out ect. The one thing that is very obvious about the misdirection of the film obviously made from activist is the fact that anything that could eat and digest and thrive on oil and byproducts would be way more valuable than the oil itself! Imagine having something that could cleanses oil spills, leaks, old gas stations, old leaking pumps at farms. It could actually eat old asphalt road beds and poop dry asphalt to be reused. The sky is the limit on something like this in the help to clean up our lands. Oil Company scientist and people like myself are very environmentally conscious. The products used to drill and complete these wells are the same thing you have in a lot of your food, lotions and makeup. Fluids are checked several times a day with labs, cuttings are observed by geologist and anything different is recorded. Sample bottles are run to check for SRBs with eats sulpher and makes poison gas. There is alot more to it than the movie shows and nobody on location would hide or pollute on purpose. Its been like that for the last 40 yrs or more and nobody I know want to destroy land or life. Any oil or diesel spill is dug up immediately and saved for remediation. Literally a gallon spill is recorded and remediated immediately. A blow will have crews as soon as its safe to get every drop that they can and people in the oil fields really do care and anybody that sees anything in any is required to make a report all the way down to worms corner. But this was cute film and gives a person the warm and fuzzy feeling most oil companies no longer have security like they used to. They should up to drug test everyone unannounced and the gates were locked and everyone search and tested. Automatic discharge if you failed. They would search you vehicles for guns and dope with dogs ect.. Then they found out that what they was doing was illegal search and seizure as many of the workers like myself travel hundres of miles and in my case I was required to live on location and work as many hrs as needed without sleep, or relief but I was rewarded well. I did the lab work, crunched the numbers and its a whole bunch of geometry, hydralics, newtonian, Reynolds, Plastics ect and made 2 reports and all the recommendation to the drilling fluids to keep the well safe and specification proper to remove cuttings, keep the bit cool, controll the influx of fluids and gases, take care of any corrosive gas or fluids ect. Like i said...There is a incredible amount of science and equipment involved and the utmost respect for this planet trying to recover the hydrocarbons.

3.0 out of 5 stars Ridiculous plot conceit but enjoyable, anyway.
The A-bomb gave birth to an entire genre - monsters created or set free by man's meddling with the environment. This one, though, offers monsters in much lighter vein than Godzilla, Rodan, Mothra or Tyler Perry. Surprisingly watchable.
