A well made, well acted film that while slow at times keeps you interested throughout. As the case with Jeff Nichols films they are paced very methodically which you either embrace or you don't I'm more in the former than the latter. B+

Featuring stand-out performances, impressive direction, and a stellar story-line, Midnight Special is an emotional and original Sci-Fi thriller, even with its loose ends.

Pretty cool science-fiction film that is well-directed and pretty well-written with good acting, visuals and music also.

Fantastic film. Very strong performances and a very interesting story. Movie def takes influences from "Superman" as the movie hints at during a scene.

Beautiful film with an intriguing story that captivated me. I was on the edge of my seat, wanting to know, wanting to understand. I struggled with wanting the journey to end so I could see, but also fearful and sad that it would end. A must see.

I must thank jeff nichols for this film perfect and rich in emotions, michael shannon is once again in top form as he was in the incredible “ take shelter” , love at first sight of the year, cheer.

Midnight Special is one of the rare movies in the Science Fiction genre that manages to feel so human while still maintaining an incredibly powerful mystique.

This is a really really good movie that has many subtle things that really gets overlooked IMO.

On the slower side, yes. But it never felt slow, since the superb acting and mystery kept your attention.
If you find movies like "Transformers" entertaining, this probably isn't your cup of tea.

I was so excited walking into Midnight Special, but I was very disappointed. The film was very slow, and had little action. It had no point to it, and the ending was just stupid. Overall, Midnight Special is very disappointing.

Hmm, I recognize this was a work of spirit for the creator. My main complaint is that it seems an example of our times reliance on what has come before.

Whatever people saw in this meandering and utterly lackluster sci-fi americana was missed on me. Nichols has steered well off course since the brilliant Take Shelter and I hope he rights the ship soon.

This is not a very good movie...don't be fooled by high ratings...this is very derivative of "Close encounters" except that was better and original. Don' t waste your time on it.

"Midnight Special" is thrilling, emotional, exquisite, intricate, beautiful, wonderful, and inspiring. A fantastic and original sci-fi thriller with great performances and a gripping plot.

I created an account at metacritic just to warn viewers of how godawful this film is. The critics must have been huffing paint fumes infused with bath salts when they watched this snooze-fest.

boring and bland in every aspect of the film, no innovation or creativity is presented in the film. don't waste your time for this film, or any of this director.

i think i know what i am now..
Midnight Special
This is a mere peculiar discussed topic rather than an astonishing tale like a good old E.T. and maybe this is the reason it stands alone on its extraordinary point of view.
