The whole movie really is just Abrams' wank to Spielberg. It's extremely derivative, and I'm surprised the reviews were as positive as they were. It was like Close Encounters of the Third Kind meets The Goonies. It was a passable film, but I don't get why everyone touts Abrams as some kind of genius. So far every thing he's churned out seems really meh. Then again I haven't actually seen Lost. I have seen Fringe though, and it sucks.
Lost will only lower your opinion of Abrams, and my opinion of Abrams has never seen fit to rise.
