I have only vague memories of Cocoon from my childhood, and when it caught up with me in the late hours of the night after many years, I was in the mood for anything else. And yet the film proved me wrong from the first minute, managing to make me laugh, surprise me, melt my heart, and even move me in several places. The magic and "family feel" of the 80s in its purest form.

Cocoon is an ideal film for everyone tired of the flood of negative news about natural disasters, wars, crime, and human suffering. It is actually one of the few movies where evil is practically absent; it is a pleasant film with a positive tone, a decent cast, good acting performances, and professional direction. Giving it two stars is actually unfair, but I give them because the film always bored me. It lacks some more significant dramatic conflict related to the absence of the aforementioned evil. The film about a group of retirees who regain their lost youth thanks to a visit from an alien civilization is suitable for anyone who wants to spend a pleasant moment with a film that they will most likely forget in a few hours. Overall impression: 45%.

I think if I'd seen this movie earlier, it would have gotten me a lot more. The concept itself is quite nice, which ultimately led to it being a comedy/family film somewhat in the style of E.T., but it doesn't have such a strong plot development, and frankly, the screenplay is shallow right from the beginning and lacks proper build-up.
