Disclosure: I have been compensated for this post, but the opinions herein, including the one where I’m ticked that I can’t take my own kids to see this flick, just yet, are wholly my own.
Since starting this blog in February, my three year old daughter and I have been given opportunities to embark on adventures that have been, well, “out of this world,” to quote the colloquialism.
Taking them to see a full length feature film, however, is not one I’d undertake at this hyperactive, high decibel, third year juncture of our journey. There’s just not enough duct tape in the world to make that work.
So when I heard about the sci fi adventure film Earth To Echo, the July 2nd, Relativity Media release starring Teo Halm, Brian “Astro” Bradley, Reese Hartwig and Ella Linnea Wahlestedt as brave young adventurers banding together to protect a mysterious, loveable, life-form (Who can resist the charm of a biomechanical owl-looking, little alien dude that squeaks and bleeps adorably and gazes up at you with its big, celestial baby blues?) from the clutches of government agents that are after it….I lamented the fact that we’d have to skip it on the big screen this go-round. But the movie is screening exceptionally well for kids (and parents!) aged 5 and up, so…

About the Film
“Friendship is the greatest adventure of all. In theaters July 2, 2014.
Tuck, Munch and Alex are a closely bonded trio of inseparable friends, but their time together is coming to an end. Their neighborhood is being destroyed by a highway construction project that is forcing their families to move away. But just two days before they must part ways, the boys find a cryptic signal has infected their phones. Convinced something bigger is going on and looking for one final adventure together, they set off to trace the messages to their source and discover something beyond their wildest imaginations: hiding in the darkness is a mysterious being, stranded on Earth, and wanted by the government. This launches the boys on an epic journey full of danger and wonder, one that will test the limits of their friendship and change all of their lives forever.”

Nothing better than a summer sci-fi flick for the kids! Looking forward to the release
From the previews, I think the whole family is going to like it.
Best of luck! I can’t wait to see it.
Ever since Wall-E, I’ve looked forward to more great sci-fi movies to share with my four-year-old.
I hear ya. Wall E is about the only flick we have zero qualms about at this age. Good luck!

P.S. All I want is two of those Earth To Echo mini fans for the kiddos. I’ve seen a few kids walking around with them, and my munchkins want one so bad. Is there any way to buy them anywhere?
I’m not sure. Email me your address and I’ll send you mine when I get them. Don’t forget to subscribe. 🙂
