Middle schooler Ben spends his free time watching sci-fi films, playing video games and reading comic books.

Joined by their buddy Darren, the boys take off into outer space and encounter some very odd extraterrestrial life.

The movie was ok until they went to space. There it become very childish and did not appeal to me.

So the movie didn't age all that well, but damn, it sure got the 80s nostalgia fired up. Somewhat bittersweet though as seeing Ethan Hawke and River Phoenix that young made me feel super old. Not so fun fact: 2 of these kids (Phoenix and Amanda Peterson) died of drug overdoses. Enjoy the movie!

The movie could have been something really special, until the third act. It devolved from a coming of age sci-fi adventure into poorly produced and cartoonish slop. The way it was wrapped up felt rushed and the vibe didnt fit the rest of the movie. For that reason, it sucked.

This movie is probably Ok for young boys, but for the rest, it is just too naive, too silly and too much inconsistent it its tone. It goes from serious growing up elements to plain silly slapstick. Furthermore, the special effects are weak, even for the period.
