BootDigest Such a frustrating disappointment

Beystiman It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.

Kimball Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

Billy Ollie Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

Eyerobot The reviews said this was almost a terrible movie. But it wasn't. It is definitely a kids movie, However it is done very well, And in my opinion was as good as any other children's movie out there. IT didn't have the big budget effects of the ewoks, But the acting was really good. And it was surprisingly enjoyable.I really have no complaints about the movie, It pushed it's budget to the limit, And the story line worked very well. While i would like to have seen more effects, I was not disappointed by the overall movie.

James Scott As a movie overall, I'd probably give it 5 out of 10. But I give it an extra point because what they did with what they had. It's clearly a low budget movie. Which actually had some good CGI effects/scenes. And they relied on some practical effects instead. As one that thinks Hollywood movies now a days are to much CGI and not enough story/acting. I found this a bit refreshing.It reminded me a bit of the TV show "The 100" with some "Lord of the Flies" and a dash of monsters thrown in. When you watch it, you will probably feel like you heard this story before.Now considering the Director and one of the writers, Simon Hung, has a Masters degree in Film making. I did wonder on why the writing was so cliché and predictable. Not sure if this was done on purpose or that I have seen way to many movies.The writer, director and actors are all pretty much new to making a full length movie. (a few did a couple of TV episodes and shorts). I think they all did a respectful job. But the acting was stiff in parts and overdone in others. But I wasn't expecting Oscar moments from kids in their first movie. Especially when they had no adult actors to play off of.Overall it's a pretty good attempt at making major movie. But the predictable writing, so-so acting and clearly low budget, hold the movie back. Could easily be a made for SyFy Channel movie. I look forward to seeing Simon's next attempt. As a side note, I don't know where this was filmed. But as a kid (ok, also as an adult), I would of loved to play in that scrap yard. Great location choice.

shradhey The movie is supposed to be futuristic but the way it's made it looks dated and old. The actors are young and inexperienced (I hope so) The story is boring and predictable but is presented in most chaotic manner. The CGI effects are basic and poor quality. If you want to make a low budget movie - I don't think science fiction is a good option.Now my opinion on the movie - It's kind of movie where you wish there was a negative ranking on IMDb. Where you can give a movie -2 or -3 because there is hardly anything good in the movie and it's full of mistakes, awful acting and cheap CGI. It can become the 'Room' one day and people might start watching it as it's so bad. The minimum length of review on IMDb is 10 lines otherwise just the word 'awful' will do sufficient job in describing this movie. As previous reviews mention - if you are having difficulties sleeping - this is a good movie to put on. You can get around your friends and family and have a laugh watching this as well. Enough said.

deacongry So I wasn't super excited to see this movie, mainly because it seemed like it would be rather commonplace. What I found though was that, even though the acting wasn't amazing, the story wasn't grade A, over all this was a pretty fun little scifi. It was a lot more entertaining than some of the dull big budget stuff out there today.I could certainly have enjoyed a little more budget, and perhaps a few Special Affects added in, but ultimately it is a pretty good job considering what they were working with.I would actually like to see what the director and writers could do with a bigger budget and more talent. I mean the kids did great, but someone like Depp, or Patrick Strewart
