That was an excellent one.
Entertaining from beginning to end, it maintains the spirit of the franchise while establishing it's own seal with a fun cast
It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.
It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.
This bomb looks like it was filmed in 1987, not 1997. It combines clichés from every 80s teen, sci-fi flick you can remember, and regurgitates them in the most annoying manner possible.What a step down for the kid actor from "Jurassic Park" - this really is absolute junk. I'm not surprised the director is responsible for producing "Enterprise" (worst of the "Trek" series), and season six of "24" - by far its weakest.To make matters worse, the script at one point actually has the main "characters" listening to scenes from "Lost in Space" - the wonderfully hokey TV series that looks like Shakespeare, compared to "Star Kid." Children deserve better than this. Yeah, they'll watch anything - so it's up to you parents to provide a little discretion. Rent "Flight of the Navigator," instead - a GOOD 80s kid's sci-fi movie.
You gotta see it to believe how bad oh i mean good this movie really is. Trust me rent it and you'll go home p***ed oh i mean happy. Joe Mazzelo does some outstanding acting, as does the rest of this no-name crappy half witted moron pathetic cast, and they call this a movie? 1 out of 10 is the grade!!!
Even though half the movie was spent looking up Joseph Mazzello's nose (or his face) I still had a little bit of fun. The story wasn't really anything you haven't seen before, its kind of like a low bugget, low scale version of Independence Day, Mac and Me, and E.T put together. See it if you want, but don't expected much, unless you are around 6 to 13.My rating: 7
I've read quite a few reviews for this movie and was wondering what the problem was. Some people think the main actor, Joseph Mazzello, was wasting his time with this film, But I don't think it would have worked without him. I thought it was funny and enjoyable. Maybe the beginning was a little cheesy, but overall I would recommend this to watch.
