Read MoreNice, fresh concept for a movie - - and it works ! It's an honor watching so many actors, who were once great in their prime, playing elderly roles - but with lots of CLASS and TALENT ! I really enjoyed the overall storyline of this movie - as it makes you think twice in the end - - "Would I really want to be young again ? Is it TRULY worth it ?"

Read MoreAliens are a good subject to begin with during a science-fiction movie. Movies, such as Alien itself, deal with bad aliens. There are a lot of those. But other movies, such as E.T, deal with good aliens. This is one of those. Cocoon is a light-hearted story, a touch saddening, just because it revolves around old people who are waiting out death. The plot is surprisingly original, with a bit of humor to get by. The cast, led by Ameche, keeps the movie afloat. Sweet, mystical fable that I would recommend to those who savor science-fiction and the fate of those in our retirement homes. Rent it. Close this ReviewWAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes

Retirees regain their youth in a swimming pool with alien cocoons. There are numerous well known actors, who are so realistic it's almost believable. The pace is steady & easygoing. WAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes

The cast is great for this movie. However the book is ever so much better & very little like the movie. Read the book, don't watch the movie. WAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes
