If I ever needed an example of a movie that's a giant fart, I now have it: Midnight Special
I actually liked that the film had realistic dialogue and rather than heavy exposition, the actors actually got to act/emote to show their implied history, relations and emotions. The music was also nice.
However, the characters were much closer to bland than interesting. The boy, Michael Shannon and Kirsten Dunst were kinda interesting, but mostly it was the mystery surrounding them.
The film is a parental character movie masquerading as sci-fi. I personally don't enjoy movies that feature specific genres and don't actually use them; they rarely work for me (Looper is another one that missed the mark).
There were lots of great elements and ideas that ultimately amounted to a limp chase movie. As for the ending? Ugh...
