I saw it. I liked it. It isn't my favourite Spielberg film, but it was fine. I thought it lacked a little bit in exposition, but the overall plat and pacing was good.
spoiler
Steven Spielberg really likes generic Grey Aliens. Close Encounters of the Third Kind, Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, this film...The music was excellent. There was a French Horn blast during one of the action sequences which made me think "that sounds like John Williams!". But as Williams had announced his retirement after Indiana Jones 5, I wondered who Spielberg got as a composer...
When the credits rolled, it turned out that Spielberg coaxed the nonagenarian out of retirement for another film score :)
Re: your spoiler
He grew up when greys were the only type of alien. Other than moon men or men from mars.
What do you think of the story ??
