Better than expected but not sure we wanna be sending kids the message that you can steal UFOs from military bases and just return to your normal life at the end.

59/100 It's pretty unoriginal, but at least it's not a remake or a sequel. I liked how they built Elio's character, and the Commonverse was really fun to watch as well.
