Line 6:
* [[HSQ]]: Hits a ''massive'' spike during the train-crash scene.
** And again during the climax, {{spoiler|when the military is bringing tanks and jeeps with machine guns to bear on the alien, with negligible effect.}}
* [[ItsIt's the Same, SoNow It Sucks]]:
** Hardly ''exactly'' the same, but it's really very similar to ''[[Cloverfield]]'' (produced by J.J. Abrams) in a lot of ways.
** Considering that the entire movie is a splicing together of ''[[Cloverfield]]'', ''[[E.T. the Extraterrestrial (Film)Extra-Terrestrial|ET the Extraterrestrial]]'', and ''[[The Goonies]]'', this could be said of the entire story. Though, YMMV on whether that makes this film a nifty homage to the films of Abrams' childhood, or an awful checklist of cliches from better movies.
*** Of course, [[Steven Spielberg|the man behind 2/3s]] of those mentioned (and also ''[[Close Encounters of the Third Kind]]'' and ''[[Jaws (Filmfilm)|Jaws]]'' which this movie also homages) was the producer of this film (and not just executive, he was greatly involved in it).
*** As a bit of a [[Take That]] in the audio commentary, JJ Abrams says when the Amblin logo appears "to the people who say we copied ''E.T.'', he actually appears in the movie."
* [[Memetic Mutation]]: [[Serious Business|"PRODUCTION VALUE!"]] seems to be floating around all over the place nowadays.
Line 19:
** Other than the scenes toward the end where we see the alien in full <ref> Shared between [[ILM]], who did most of the effects up to this point. And [[Pixomondo]], under ILM's supervision</ref>, there doesn't look to be a lot of conspicuous CGI. Which is actually damn good work.
