Reviewed by i.alex.mac. Vote: 8/10/10 wow. I love this film. I saw it when i was pretty young andabsolutely loved it, as i do much of Dante's flicks from this time -The Burbs, Gremlins, InnerSpace - and i still love it to this very day.in fact, i understand the ending a little better now. I remember theending being quite disappointing in some senses - the aliens justdont live up to the majesty that proceeds them - but this is exactlyhow the main character played by Ethan Hawke feels.
So in somesenses this could be seen as truly amazing film-making. Butmaybe i am being a little silly through my love of the film, whichalso i must add, has one of the best themes. A theme which onlyarrives half way through the film, when their craft is almost finishedin its building.
I love this film, but i can understand that somepeople may not enjoy it or even find it to be that good a film. I ofcourse dont agree with this in any way - and less than 6/10?Outrageous. It deserves at least 7 anyway. But nevertheless,people have their opinions, and in mine i shall give it8.5/10. Reviewed by BadWebDiver Vote: 8/10/10 This is a fun little story about a group of kids who are inspired by alientransmissions to build a spaceship from old junk parts.
It features someofthe early performances by Ethan Hawke and River Phoenix, back when theywereyoung and enthusiastic performers. I'm actually totally green with envy atRiver Phoenix's role; it's the sort I always imagined playing as akid. The climax is very similar to a classic Star Trek episode called 'TheSquireof Gothos', and the effects and showmanship of this story is very cool.
Agreat piece of entertainment. Reviewed by Lee Eisenberg (lee.eisenberg.pdx@gmail.com) Vote: 7/10/10 The '80s yielded a number of movies about kids going on adventures, but'Explorers' was something else. On the surface, it seems like any othermovie, but the aliens aren't what anyone is expecting.
Mostly, themovie is about Ben Crandall (Ethan Hawke), Wolfgang Muller (RiverPhoenix) and Darren Woods (Jason Presson), and their fantasies. And then there are director Joe Dante's touches.

Dick Miller - whomDante always casts - plays a cop who discovers the boys' spaceship.Robert Picardo (another frequent Dante player) voices one of thealiens. And of course Dante has many allusions to '50s B-movies.
Maybe'Explorers' isn't anything special, but it's still pretty fascinating.

Explorers is a pretty good little sci-fi children's movie, and like most Joe Dante films; it has a feeling of nostalgia all over it. The movie has its problems, but nonetheless it was a nice little watch. Most of the problems come in the second part of the movie.
The first half of the movie is great though. Three friends come together to try to create a spaceship after one of the boys has a crazy dream. They soon find out that the things from his dream works and that they have created a spaceship. After a test run where they take it out for a spin around town, they decide to work out the bugs and go looking for whatever it is that is relaying these ideas to them.
The first half is mostly the kids figuring out how to make this thing work, and it's extremely well done. The second half is where they actually try to go into space, and this doesn't quite work as well as it needed to. It's an interesting movie by all means, especially with young actors that would go onto do bigger and better things like Ethan Hawke and River Phoenix.
Phoenix shows of his prodigy skills with a phenomenal performance, and the movie is worth a look if only for Phoenix himself. Explorers is one to watch when you want a movie that reminds you of being a kid. I didn't expect anything to spectacular as I've noticed that most of Dante's films are missing a key ingredient that would make them more than just slightly above average. In this one, that missing ingredient is the space sequence. The aliens were lame and overall the whole space sequence was just dull. Still, the first half and the cast more then make up for it. Another classic kids flick from a time when imagination seemed to flow like a waterfall, made a year before 'Flight of the Navigator' and along the same kind of lines but much more wild with a stronger fantasy element.
