I don't find myself missing Seleck when I watch this. The cast has a great chemistry and I love the Hawaiian locations. I like that they're digging and building up the supporting characters. Bobby Lee would be a good addition and they should use the families of Magnum's friends more. The relationships between them are just as interesting as the cases that they work on. I wish they would develop closer ties with the HPD instead of it being as confrontational as its sometimes written. After all the times they've successfully cooperated to solve cases, surely Magnum wouldn't be doubted as easily as they write him. I hope it continues as a series for many more seasons.

I've been to the Comic Con International 5 times over the years and this movie captures the feel and the heart of the convention even though comics become less and less the core of the event each year. I won't tell you why....but you will definitely tear up during one of the climactic scenes. Show this movie to you family and friends so they will understand why nerds are such good people.....and if you aren't a nerd, that's your loss! It's available online so you don't have to be near one of the limited number of theaters showing this movie....I can't wait for the DVD to be released since this is already my pick for documentary of the year!

This is one of the summer's strongest entries and well worth seeing. The kids are for the most part great, and it's even more amazing when you consider that some of them are in their first feature film. Spielberg's influence is very evident and the alien monster looks so much like the one from Cloverfield that I began to wonder if there were unstated connections between the two films. In any case, I like both films, but this one is the better. It obviously had a larger budget and thankfully left out the shaky hand-held camera techniques.

If you like science fiction films that intend to tug at your heart strings, this is a don't miss film. It's not perfect but never fails to hold your attention and make sense.
