Rim of the World

This was the longest adidas commercial I've seen so far...

...as it was intended... this was a FUN SciFi movie not meant to be taken seriously like Independence Day (for example). If you understand that, you will appreciate this movie for what it is. The cast was great. The effects were great. The plot was unbelievable---because it is FICTION---yes, there were some forced politically-correct themes in here and forced sympathy dialogue that could have been removed, but apart from that, I recommend watching it.

I wouldn't call this kids movie. It's funny but the language and sexual innuendos are borderline R. Just be prepared if letting kids watch.

First things first, I clearly do not belong to the intended audience which is probably narrowed to kids, even if the dialogues are barely refined and sometimes ridiculous. This is a mix of Le jour de l'indépendance (1996), E.T. l'extraterrestre (1982) and Les Goonies (1985). Seeing this movie is definitely not a requirement to become a film buff. My own rating: 2 of 10. My rating while trying to belong to the intended audience, with a generous empathy boosted to the extreme: 3/4 of 10.

I'm really confused. The main characters are pre-teens so you would think the movie was aimed towards that age group. But no, between the violence, profanity, and innuendo, I would definitely not let a pre-teen watch it. But again, the characters are kids. It isn't funny nor charming enough for adults, the action sequences were horrendously bad, and most of it made absolutely no sense. However....I was slightly entertained because of these inconsistencies. If it's free and you're very bored, watch it.
