"The first half of this movie is excellent, great slow burn sci-fi like War Games. David’s teen brother is an awesome highlight. As soon as David meets the robot, things go downhill fast. The tension goes out of the movie as the film becomes a series of landscapes, unbearable wacky humor, & out of date jokes. And then the ending undoes the entire fascinating set-up and David goes back to his old neglectful unloving parents, erasing his interesting teen brother in the process. Would love a reboot."
"I enjoyed the film for it's humor even if a major contrivance was needed to motivate it's plot."

"This has to be one of the best plots for a film I’ve seen in a while! Films during this era are the best. This has the visuals of Goonies mixed with Back to the Future and ET (without the creepy alien dude tho). It does get messy towards the end story wise and most of it is just them traveling in the ship, but it’s still great. Also Peewee Herman being the voice for the alien ship was amazing. "
