Yes I got most of the references. But nostalgia does not a good movie make. I think Spielberg has jumped his shark. Disclosure: yeah I'm Furious about his suggestion that Netflix films should compete unded the Emmy's competition. But that pissed me off after I saw this dreck. I'm quite pleased that others loved it because reviews are stupid, biased and recently based on arguments get more views. Having said that it's clear to me that IMDB's "grade inflation and deflation" has become a barometer of haters and lovers. I liked some of the special effects far more than script, story, acting and direction. It was Forgettable and I wanted my time back. But hey I didn't give it a 1.
