Review – Explorers

For the most part this one’s strictly for the kids. The plot centers around three boys – a dreamer, a brain and an ordinary joe – who happen upon some tasty little nuggets of alien technology. After considerable pre-teen-oriented high-jinks, they manage to construct sort of a treehouse-looking ship that takes them into outer space to meet their ET benefactors. The all-too-brief encounter with the visitors from another planet is the most amusing part of the movie, at least from the perspective of anyone above the age of 12. However, as kids’ movies go this isn’t half bad. Mildly amusing
