It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

Excellent characters with emotional depth. My wife, daughter and granddaughter all enjoyed it...and me, too! Very good movie! You won't be disappointed.

Warning: Spoilers.There are three robots. They fight stuff. Then TRON comes and kills the bad guy. In between is pointless dialogue, broken direction, and the most incredibly bad voice acting second only to the Malaysian dub of Dragon Ball Z. I'm honestly sad that not many people have reviewed this movie, as it is far, far, worse than anything I have seen on the bottom 100 - it makes Birdemic look like a masterpiece. I can't even begin to describe in words how awful this is. It should be the subject of a doctoral dissertation for film, if the industry had such a degree. If you don't believe me, simply watch the film in full on YouTube.

I love animation/anime, and have done since a very early age. Space Thunder Kids is not the worst animated movie I've seen, but it is laughably bad and you, like I sort of did, might find some entertainment value in its awfulness.The animation has a dull and unfinished quality to it. The backgrounds are often static, with the galactic backgrounds not doing anything for me, and the colours are flat. The character designs fare worse, they are stiff and forced, and the dubbing is rarely in sync with the lip movements. Actually, I think the lip movements were nearly always ahead of the speaking. Also in the beginning alone, there are objects that float around aimlessly and when they are hit with laser beams they pop in very slow motion, more reminiscent of balloons that take a long time to pop.The music when it appears wasn't so bad in its orchestration at the time, it's just that afterwards it was very forgettable and there are times in the movie where you felt it could have had less music or that a scene didn't need any music. The characters I was mostly indifferent to, the Dark Emperor was intriguing by name but you don't know much about him while the lead characters are annoying. The voice acting/dubbing is very poor and sloppy, with the actors sounding as though they are not putting any effort in.The story is another major problem. It is a very unoriginal and thin one. I liked the idea somewhat, don't get me wrong, but that idea was completely abandoned halfway through. Not only that, the film feels as though it has three different beginnings, three beginnings that feel disjointed and don't do much to move the story forward or set the tone of the story. The film is only a little over 80 minutes, but because the pace is so sluggish in places it feels longer. And I mustn't forget the writing, it is dreadfully cheesy. However, I found it impossible not to be amused, not because the dialogue was hilarious or anything but because the lines and delivery of them were so bad.In conclusion, dreadful but had some novelty value. 1/10 Bethany Cox
