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.

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.

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. 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.

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 staying power with the teen set.

film rather silly, beautiful quotations of famous films, but very badly narrated, little special effects and all very obvious.

This film is just pure cringe but not awful, but not great writing. They spent to much time on the visuals, clearly. And Darius, just deserves a massive punch in the face.

This movie simply didn't know what it wanted to be. Part "stranger things", part "terminator", part "independence day", but failing to capture any of these themes. The four main characters are all stereotypes that we've seen a million times in other, better movies. Very racist undertones as well, although in fairness the movie was equally racist towards the black, white and asian characters. Best avoided.

I don't really know what this disaster wanted to be. To be honest I don't know how McG still gets to make films.
