    What a great nostalgic feeling movie

    OMG! What a great nostalgic feeling movie. The director and cast do a great job of bringing out that 80s/90s feel. The way movies in the past were grounded and extremely funny at the same time. I love films like this and miss the 90s feel.

    It is very well written and acted. Production value is epic. The Cinematography is great. As well as the soundtrack.

    I was lucky to catch this on a big screen. You will not be disappointed with renting this film. Jack's Feature Directorial debut is a good one! I cannot to wait to see more from him as his career continues.

    No spoilers in the review so you just have to go watch this Sci-Fi on your own and trust you will be in for a happy surprise. The movie trailer also does a great job capturing the films essence without ruining the film.

    We need more films like this!

    Absolutely delightful fun movie for the whole family! We really enjoyed it and as I said in the headline, we need more movies that make people feel good and I felt great when I left the movie theater. Great job!! The scenery was spectacular. The story well thought out taking a person's dream and passion through thin and thick to achieve glory is something we seldom see these days in film. The acting was superb. I rarely am moved by movies but this one got me! Again nice job! I really do think this film would do great in schools as it would inspire young people to use their imagination and pursue dreams all the way to the finish line.

    Such a fun movie!

    It nails the 80s and 90s vibe perfectly, nostalgic without feeling outdated, with a great mix of throwback style and modern energy. The main characters are hilarious and super likable, bringing so much charm and personality to the story. The supporting cast also shines, with plenty of memorable moments that sometimes steal the spotlight.

    The story is simple yet effective, leaning into its lighthearted tone while still packing in enough emotional beats to keep viewers invested. The humor is sharp and well-paced, with a good mix of slapstick, clever dialogue, and heartfelt moments. There's also a lot of love and attention to detail in how the movie captures the feel of those classic eras, from visuals to the soundtrack.

    If you're into feel-good, nostalgic comedies, this one's a must-watch. More films like this, please!

    A family movie that feels like classic 80s/90s era fun!

    I would say kids as young as 8 would both enjoy the movie and not be scared or put off by the storyline. The comedic delivery from the characters and funny lines are delivered in a way that adults will chuckle along while the language won't offend the younger audience. Overall feels like the sort of fun from Back to the Future meets Ghostbusters meets Goonies. Really an all around fun movie that also has a positive storyline that parents will enjoy their kids being impacted from. I watched this with my 12yo as I wasn't sure if my 7yo would like it or be scared, but afterwards I wished I had brought the littler one along. Overall a wonderful movie from a first time director and producer, highly recommended!

    Good early film from a very young director

    Page Gomez was a bright spot and held the film together. She was a delight and I was surprised that this was her first feature film. The cinemetography was beautiful. The story overdid the eccentricty of the doctor and seemed to channel Ghostbusters and Back to the Future a bit too much and I did not develop sympathy for the doctor. Also, they had a lot of subplots and characters that were probably not neccessary and used screentime that could have been dedicated to better character development. All in all, enjoyable and I see a great future for the cast and crew. The Alaska setting with beached crab boats made for interesting backdrops.
