Was anyone else sad when David finally gets home then stops on the steps of the ship and says he doesn't belong, then decides to take the trip back to 1978?

I used to be really sad for his 1986 family when I watched this as a kid. But now I choose to believe their happiness is shortlived as David going back in time re-writes the future. It's a happier alternative than the idea that a seperate timeline is created. I wonder which version the writers intended to be the case.

as a kid i assumed going back in time re-writes the future, and as an adult i think this was how the writers intended it to bethe seperate timelines thing seems a bit too complicated for a kids film not to mention kinda depressing.

It was sad for his parents but David made the right decision because he'd never get peace in that timeline. NASA would want to experiment on him further while he wouldn't fit in at school (his friends are all adults while he had few interests in common with the twelve-year-olds of 1986).

I was really happy for David when he went back to 1978. He left the chaous of the 80's and goes back to the peaceful setting with his parents. I always felt the ending was so uplifting because he was able to back to his own time period where he knew he belonged.

But at the end how woud have David explained that little creature from the ship be brought back with him. His brother saw the creature and smiled at the end, but I wonder what the parents would have thought about it?

He has made a trip to the woods right? He could say that he found it in the woods. Besides-no one would believe the truth. It's best to keep it to your self.

I was glad he went back to 1978. It's like he said, they would've just treated him like a guinea pig for the rest of his life, and even though that was his family, he just never would've fit in.
