Well. This is the first movie review that I am not reviewing the movie so much as I am reviewing the movie reviewers. Or more or less reviewing people. I am reading several movie reviews of this movie Explorers and astounded. Very crappy and basically stupid people. Unlike the movie reviewer who says, "I like this better than E.T." Unlike the movie reviewer who says that this was good about halfway through. I am going to say that this movie was created as a test to see how stupid people are. Basically this movie to me proves why people are morons. Seriously.This movie is not comparable to E.T. So I say shut up to that person. This movie really started to get good about five sixths of the way into it. And then before you know it the movie is over. Actually near the end it started to remind me of HitchHiker's guide to the Galaxy. Or George Noory who has constantly said on his show coast to coast that he wonders if there aren't a lot of malevolent aliens out there. And if the Universe is just one big eating contest. Of a big bad fish getting eaten by a bigger badder fish, and a bigger badder fish and so on. So the person who said this movie was good about the first half and then turned into crap. That person is a moron. People are morons. The movie exposes that.The cool puppeteering is like four sixths to five sixths into the movie. And then there are some comical singing of aliens and mesmerized looks of the child actors, notably Ethan Hawke, has the face that I have now as an adult when watching this. Like, What the heck is going on? All of this is in the second half of the movie. However maybe the moron reviewer meant that this movie fails to make an appropriate or congealing connection between the first half of the movie and the second half of the movie. That is so. There is a poorly executed connection between the boys making the spaceship at the beginning to them actually going into outer space near the end. I find this kind of a flaw in a lot of Joe Dante Movies. His movies tend to look way different in the end than in the beginning. Almost like in every Joe Dante movie, including gremlins you are watching two different movies and a poorly executed mechanism of connecting the two. I just usually assume whenever I see Mr. Fudderman (Dick Miller, in all) that he is the indicator that the movie is about to change into something else. Usually something very bizarre and macabre.Well don't go by the morons movie reviews. Spielberg is no way mentioned or involved with this project, so don't even mention him. Just watch the movie. And know that there is a good 100 percent chance that you are more intelligence than 99.9 percent of all of the movie reviewers who have seen this. Oh yeah, this movie could have been way better, in my opinion if they stuck with the creepy alien route and added more song and dance numbers. And basically STARTED at the five sixths of the way into it. Michael Reed you are dumb as a stoned panda or jerboa. Anyway I am glad that the movie didn't start when it actually started to get good and go on the same narrative because it could have been a hundred times scarier than the Howling. Really show Joe Dante's Dark ethos.Atreyu (unimaginative screen name) the aliens don't ruin this. The aliens are where the movie could have been good. Crawl under a rock and ask the pill bugs to feed you more poor words. You favorite word is the word right? Eh cough Nancy Pelosi. You didn't see that the aliens were a parody on Nancy Pelosi and the do nothings in congress. Joe Dante has wit you people don't.

There are many reasons a person could watch this movie. Young hackers, young astronauts, young sci-fi students, people who dive into their dreams... are we alone?? In this movie, the answer is there for all of them. It is an awesome movie, one of the great movies that touches the dreamer. For me, it was the ability of one of the kids in particular that made this a must watch from when I was a kid, even until now with my own children I had them watch it. The computer aspect of one of them making a logic / motherboard we will say out of the diagrams of one of the other kids dreams. It was awesome! The sphere that was created from a board hooked to a computer then was given x,y coordinates and destination information was just AWESEME!!! A must see for any and all ages. Hang on tight while you go on an adventure to... well... I wont spoil it for you. Great Movie!

ExplorersSending children into outer space is a great idea because it gets them off of Earth.However, if the kids are as intelligent as the ones in this sci-fi movie then they can stay.Inspired by a dream he had of a computer circuit that would enable space flight, Ben (Ethan Hawke) approaches his whiz kid pal Wolfgang (River Phoenix) to help build a replica.Eventually, the pair creates an airtight force field capable of flight and protecting them from the harsh elements of space.Employing another friend (Jason Presson) to construct a spacecraft, the trio treks into the unknown universe, discovering some harsh truths along the way.An obvious product of its 1985 environment, this lesser known teenager space adventure has enough pseudo science, subversive sexuality and absurdity to deserve cult status.What's more, since there is no night or day in space, child labour laws do not apply.Yellow Light vidiotreviews.blogspot.ca

What a wkd film! Ben(Ethan hawk) starts having surreal dreams of flying and gets a vision through his dreams of a spaceship. when he wakes up Ben, his inventor friend Wolfgang(river phoenix) and Darren(Jason Woods),who helped Ben get rid of some bullies, build the spaceship and go to space to find out who sent them the message. A long the way all kinds of cool things happen. Drive in movie mayhem, flying round the town testing the ship and causing madness. Dick Miller has a great part in this! Joe Dante Kicks ass as usual. If you like Flight of the Navigator, E.T. you will love this. If I was a kid I would of given this 10
