Rim of the World

This film gets butchered in the reviews. I really do not see why! Solid direction by McG. The acting is decent, so are the special effects. The main characters are likeable. Pacing of the movie is good, and the adult humor adds to the flavour. I see why people compare it to a lot of other similair movies, but this film has it's own unique style and doesn't takes itself to seriously. Popcorn entertainment for sure, but really well done. A solid 7

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 Independence Day (1996), E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial (1982) and The 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.

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

Imagine the Goonies written by a talentless writer, with added aliens. The film has zero charm, 90% terrible dialogue and tiresome characters. It's like Independence Day with a lower IQ. No, I didn't think that was possible either
