February 10, 2009Great film that has been forgotten in time which is criminal. Pivotal cast and slick effects make this a true 80's classic :)
It was even overlooked back in its day really, E.T. held the monopoly on friendly aliens (I hated that film).
A kind of space adventure version of the Goo...( read more) -

Ethan Hawke is the main hero - the one th...( read more)

August 9, 2009It's certainly imaginative, and it starts out well, but as the film progresses, it gets just too extreme and over the top. It's a fun movie though, very light and entertaining. Decent special effects.

June 24, 2009If "Goonies" is the '80s most perfect distillation of every kid's fondest swashbuckling pirate fantasies, then "Explorers" is that decade's science fiction equivalent... at least until it makes an unfortunate last act detour into the ridiculous. Escapist whiz Joe Dante seems almo...( read more)
