Elio movie review

 

This past June 24, I saw the movie Elio at the AMC in West Orange, NJ and I liked it. Disney movies were  part of my childhood and I wanted to see it.  

The movie is about a young kid by the name of Elio who lives with his Aunt Olga. His Aunt Olga is in the US Air Force and works for the government.  Elio has trouble making friends and he thinks aliens are real.  

While Elio was at his Aunt's place of work, he was able to communicate with the aliens. That caused a power outage. After two bullies beat up Elio on the beach, his Aunt Olga sends him to a summer camp to make friends. He hates it because the kids in the camp do not respect him. 

Elio gets abducted by the aliens at the summer camp that he was at. He meets some weird aliens such as a liquid super computer named Ooooo. While there he shares knowledge of the planet Earth with the aliens and the aliens make Elio their leader. 

Then the alien ambassadors hold an emergency meeting. Lord Grigon, an alien warlord had threatened to take over the galaxy. The aliens clone Elio and send him to the planet Earth. Elio must save the galaxy from Lord Grigon's wrath. In the end, Lord Grigon spares the Galaxy from getting destroyed and his son,  Glordon, discloses he does not want to become a warlord like his father. They reconcile and make up. The real Elio goes back to Earth with his Aunt Olga and he makes a new human friend named Bryce. 

There are some parts of the movie I especially like, such as Elio making friends with Glordon.  Glordon does not want to become a warlord like his father. Elio pretends to kidnap Lord Grigon's son, Glordon even though they are friends.  Another part I liked was Elio talking to the alien super computer Ooooo. 

I give this movie a 7 out of 10. What summer blockbuster are you guys seeing? Let me know in the comments below.
