The moviemaking version of a Mobius strip: Spielberg produces a movie by
J.J. Abrams, who channels a young Spielberg and makes a movie that
combines Jaws and Close Encounters (and a dash of Cloverfield, with even the barest pinch of E.T.),
which…you get the idea. I'm tempted to downgrade this one just for
being an orgy of self-referentialism, but the bottom line is that this
is a wildly entertaining flick, and really doesn't need to apologize for
anything. So just watch it and enjoy.
