Earth to Echo is a 2014 adventure sci-fi movie directed by Dave Green and produced by Ryan Kavanaugh and Andrew Panay. It stars Teo Halm, Astro, and Reese Hartwig in the lead roles. The story revolves around a group of teenagers who find and befriend an alien creature stranded on Earth, and together embark on a journey to help him return home.

The movie begins with the lead character, Tuck (played by Astro), being informed that his neighborhood is going to be destroyed in a few days to make way for a new highway. Tuck, along with his two best friends, Munch (Hartwig) and Alex (Halm), decides to make the most of their remaining time together by embarking on a series of adventures.

One night, the trio starts receiving mysterious signals on their smartphones, which they decode to realize that they are maps leading to a particular location. They soon discover that the signals are being sent by an alien creature who needs their help to retrieve parts of his spaceship scattered across the city, so that he can repair it and return home.

The alien, who they nickname Echo, is a small, robotic creature that communicates through a series of beeps and chirps. At first, the three friends are terrified of the strange creature, but soon they realize that Echo is harmless and just wants their assistance.

As they embark on their mission to help Echo, the trio encounter a series of challenges and obstacles, including government officials who are looking for the alien, and local bullies who don't want them to succeed. But despite these challenges, the three friends remain steadfast in their mission, and their fight to help Echo brings them closer together and makes them realize the true value of friendship.

Earth to Echo has been compared to the movie E.T. due to its themes of friendship, adventure, and the bond between humans and extraterrestrial creatures. The movie features stunning visuals, with the story taking place through the lens of the kid's smartphone cameras, which adds a sense of realism to the story.

The performances of the lead actors, including Teo Halm, Astro, and Reese Hartwig, are commendable, and they portray their individual characters with conviction and authenticity. Astro, in particular, stands out with his powerful and nuanced portrayal of Tuck, who is the emotional heart of the movie.

The movie's soundtrack includes a mix of classic and contemporary songs, including "We Come Running" by Youngblood Hawke and "Best Day of My Life" by American Authors, which perfectly capture the spirit of adventure and make the movie even more enjoyable.

In conclusion, Earth to Echo is a heart-warming and exciting adventure movie that is perfect for families and kids. The story is relatable, the characters are engaging, and the visuals are simply outstanding, making it a must-watch for anyone who loves a good sci-fi adventure.
