This film doesn't add anything new to the superhero genre but it still makes a great film to watch just for the fun of it. Walker Scobell definitely plays the part of funny, awkward teen well and his on-screen chemistry with Owen Wilson was excellent.
However like I said there's a lot repetitive tropes to superhero films present like something alien falling to earth, the high tech hero, evil billionaire etc. Sometimes the film is at its best when it's not being a superhero film and focuses on things like Scobell's character coming to terms with the truth about his father's repeated absence from his life.
The special effects were pretty good though and all the kids definitely did an amazing job.
