It is an 8/10 for me and I can see this becoming a 10/10. Overall I am curious what could have been when they had not to finish this as soon as possible.

Giving the production limitation this movie is even better. Before I forget I want to thank director Joe Dante too. The soundtrack by Jerry Goldsmith is truly good and deserves praise. The special effects are mostly good with a few exceptions I cant point out because of spoilers. The rest of the cast works well too and I see no missteps here. Sadly Jason Presson ended as child star but I say he should have deserved more. Two of them became stars and you can see why. It is praisworthy wenn child or teengae actors are this good. They work really well and are always enjoyable and believable. The characters add a lot and I will praise Ethan Hawke, River Phoenix ans Jason Presson as Ben (Benjamin), Wolfgang and Darren. However it is still charming and well done. Today I see this clearly where as child I did not. They were forced to speed up the filming and even more critical also the post production including editing. Far later I read that they ended in development hell in the later phase of the production. As child when I watched it the ending was a bit strange. I like the story because of the ideas and characters. But this is just the beginning and I stop here with the set up. The first lets them create a sphere that can move at incredible speeds without any negative effects. Together with their new friend Darren they want to find out more. He shared this with his friend Wolfgang who is a child genius and sees that those are based on impressive technology unlike anything. Ben has vivid dreams about a circuit board in city shaped. The story follows the teenagers Ben, Wolfgang and Darren. To be fair the movie had some production issues and the ending is a bit forced or abrupt because of this. Also it is the first movie role for Ethan Hawk and one of the first for River Phoenix who both would become big names in the movie industry later on. For me it is charming, creative and unique. It is barly on „The best movies you have not watch or know exist” lists. Also it is the first movie role for Ethan Hawk and one of the first for River Phoenix who both would become big names in the movie industry A forgotten gem that not many know. … ExpandĪ forgotten gem that not many know.
Recommended for kids 8-10 years old if they show a love for sci fi or science in general. For parents looking for a good film for kids, it is pretty kid safe (although a little heady at times) and is such a delight to watch with a younger generation. Even the special effects are incredible for the time and still hold up very well. From the incredibly inspirational score from Jerry Goldsmith to the tremendous acting from everyone in the film, this movie is pure 80's gold. Although Joe Dante claims to have not been able to finish the film to his liking, I can not imagine it being any better. From the incredibly inspirational score from Jerry Goldsmith to the tremendous acting from everyone in the film, this movie This is a film that holds up even to this day. This is a film that holds up even to this day.
