Its greatest value is probably in how it could educate budding movie-lovers on cheesy and predictable storytelling, but even that seems like a lesson Rim of the World cynically teaches at an elementary level. Read full review

This could be the laziest screenplay you’ll watch or hear this year, so mark down this title and the date you saw it, not to mention the name under “script by” at the bottom of this review. Read full review

Rim of the World is a Netflix movie in the same kid adventures vein as Monster Squad and The Goonies. It'd about three oddball kids at a summer camp and another one they meet. An alien invasion hits, and the kids end up trying to get a military data device to the authorities.

An alien invasion hits, and the kids end up trying to get a military data device to the authorities. I rather liked this one.

The film is fairly amusing, and the four leads are pretty likable. The kids all have the same ol' worn trope of hidden, personal struggles, but the screenwriter seems to realize this and makes sure not to spend too much time on it. Cinematography consists of good lighting and some nice southern California scenery.

There is some glaringly uncomfortable sterotypical black guy dialogue as only written by a white man. The romance is forced. The movie doesn't really seem to know how juvenile or mature it is supposed to be.

Overall, I found this to be light fare. Not much of substance, but the movie is just having fun.… Expand

I thought it was great fun. As an adult, sure there were plot holes and goofs. However the monster was pretty good, and it actually made me laugh out loud several times. As I remember Goonies made me feel about the same way. So people can trash it if they want I think it has some stayingI thought it was great fun. As an adult, sure there were plot holes and goofs.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. It feels like watching a B movie, but it's not without it's charm. The plot is full of gaping holes: Where exactly did everyone go? Where are all the rest of the aliens? And the one alien we do see looks like Goro made love to Venom. My under-13 children did have a few chuckles, however. "It's another 7-11!" I don't regret watching it, but only because my little ones thought it was pretty good.… Expand

Bad writing. Mediocre acting. Much of the subject matter annoying and humorless. Juvenile beyond juvenile.

Why would you make a movie that only kids would watch but rated for adults? Unwatchable.

Just when is Hollywood gonna come clean with the ethnic jokes? "Black" this and "White" that. And what really ticked me off was the comment to the Asian girl about "calling off the attack from North Korea".

And what really ticked me off was the comment to the Asian girl about "calling off the attack from North Korea". Netflix and Hollywood in general plays a great game of calling out racism, yet they love to promote it. And with a movie aimed at teens that no doubt will be viewed by younger viewer too. This kind of behavior in films only teaches kids that it's okay to do this. And the stereotypical kids (and all characters basically) in the movie are outrageous. The black/Indian kids part was hard to watch and I felt embarrassed (and I watched the movie by myself) when he delivered most of his lines and actions. A blatant rip-off of Kenan from the "Kenan and Kel" show, but with a bully attitude.

As far as the movie goes, I got through 49 minutes and had to give it up. The jokes didn't bother me as much as the productions insult to the audiences intelligence. Snatching scenes and even sound effects from so many other films is lazy and the reason why this movie was never going to see a theater showing. It's on Netflix for a reason. It's no doubt a rejected movie from other studios, and those of us who actually pay for Netflix, bought into this terrible film. As Netflix prices go up, and their quality goes down and is becoming saturated with garbage, I'm flirting with cancelling. Something I thought I'd never be considering.… Expand
