It's "The Guyver" meets "ET" with a hint of "Green Lantern"...

Cinema Crazed
Boy and robot battle scary alien; mild profanity, suspense.

Star Kid is aimed straight for the youth market and that is probably where it will stay.

I remember when this movie came out I avoided it like the plague. Stupid title, ugly poster and directed by Manny "Dr. Giggles" Coto. Ugh! Man, was I wrong! This is actually a surprisingly great family film with some really good-looking FX. I'll definatly see this one again.
