If based solely on originality, the new sci-fi action thriller “XENO” is a bust. It’s a straight-up hybrid of “Starman,” “The Iron Giant,” and “E.T.” In this particular case, that isn’t a bad thing. If you view it through an “imitation is the sincerest form of flattery” lens, the movie more than makes up for its lack of new ideas with a lot of grit, pluck, and a huge heart.
