My daughter and I had the pleasure of attending the Earth to Echo screening here in Atlanta. Held at Regal Cinema Atlantic Station, it was a star studded red carpet event and the house was packed! Celebrities in attendance were: Earth To Echo star Brian Bradley aka “Astro”, Atlanta’s Own Ramona Debreaux (V103), The Kids from the Ludacris Foundation, and Taj (16 year old Atlanta rapper.)
After the red carpet, we all were excited to meet Astro, who plays the character Tuck, live and in person. Without giving too much of the movie away, he told everyone to get ready for an adventure and he encouraged the kids to spread the word about the movie on their social networks.
Earth to Echo is a thrilling teen sci-fi adventure about a group of teenagers and everything they go through to help a dying alien friend. It had all of the wonder that made movies great when I was a kid. It was more than just a modern day version of E.T. and I was glad to have my daughter there to enjoy it. The audience really got involved with the characters and the plot. This was evident by their synchronized reactions to certain scenes.
Earth to Echo is a “coming of age” film was about friendship, teamwork and compassion. The journey that the young characters took definitely leave you at the edge of your seat . I even got caught up in the excitement and was nearly jolted out of my seat a few times! When the movie was over I asked my daughter what her thoughts were and her response was, “Mom! I want to see that again!” Enough said. Earth to Echo hits theaters nationally on July 2nd. Until then you can check out their hashtag #EarthToEcho on social networks. for info, trailers, etc.
