    not great

    Another poor adaption of the books, which is a real shame.

    Humans are bad at math

    Kind of lame and a nonsensical attempt at a twist. If you were trying to hide, why would you do the exact opposite of that and make your existence unmissable?

    • Quotes

      Norman Jacobs: [Waves light at Sam] What are you doing here?

      Sam Jacobs: I-I heard noises. Have you been working here for long?

      Norman Jacobs: I've been working here all night. Sam, you know you're not allowed down here. Now it's late. Go to bed.

      Sam Jacobs: Hey, Dad, did you leave the window in the kitchen.

      Norman Jacobs: Yes I did. It's stuffy in this house.

      Sam Jacobs: That's good.

      Norman Jacobs: You okay?

      Sam Jacobs: Yeah, I'm fine.

      Norman Jacobs: [Sam tries touching the light] Don't touch that.

      Sam Jacobs: What is it?

      Norman Jacobs: It's a secret. I can't talk about it.

      Sam Jacobs: It looks like some kind of light. What does it do?

      Norman Jacobs: [sighs] It's for seeing things that are hard to see. Look, I've told you more than I should already. Go to bed.
