Pete's Dragon (2016)
6/10
Nice Family Movie
13 August 2016
Warning: Spoilers
I saw "Pete's Dragon", starring Bryce Dallas Howard-Jurassic World, Terminator Salvation; Robert Redford-Captain America:The Winter Soldier, Indecent Proposal; Oakes Fegley-Person of Interest_tv, This Is Where I Leave You and Karl Urban-The Star Trek movies, Ghost Ship.

This is a live action Disney remake-or reboot, actually-of the 1977 animated movie by the same name. Oakes plays the little boy that looses his parents in an accident while traveling through the woods somewhere in the Pacific northwest. Oakes then gets adopted by a dragon that he names Elliot. They become fast friends and live undetected in the woods for 6 years-Elliot is very good at camouflage. Robert plays a man that had seen Elliot years earlier but no one would believe him-they thought he was just getting senile or something. Bryce plays Robert's daughter, who is a forest ranger and Karl is a lumber jack that is always looking to make an extra buck or two-when he sees Elliot, all he sees are dollar signs. This is a nice family movie, that focuses on the importance of family. It's rated "PG" for action, peril and some language and has a running time of 1 hour & 42 minutes. I don't know if I would buy it on DVD or not but it would be a good rental.
