Lucybespro It is a performances centric movie

Sienna-Rose Mclaughlin The movie really just wants to entertain people.

Guillelmina The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

Delight Yes, absolutely, there is fun to be had, as well as many, many things to go boom, all amid an atmospheric urban jungle.

Atreyu_II Joseph Mazzello. I like him very much. That is why I wanted to see this film, even though the plot wasn't especially promising. This isn't one of Joseph's best films. It is okay but quite flawed. No less true is that, without our idol Joseph, it would have been a lot worse. He takes the whole movie alone. The movie only works because of him. As usual, Joseph is wonderful on his part.The only strange and minor side of his acting here is that he spends a great deal of time inside a cybersuit. Nothing wrong with his acting, it's just that spending such a great amount of time inside of a cybersuit is a limitation that prevents him from doing other things he could do, even though he still goes far on this role despite the limitations implied. He's got some hilarious lines and he does some pretty funny faces as well (always so convincing and expressive).The things Spencer (Joseph's character) does in this movie with Cy (the cybersuit)... I bet this is how little Bobby from 'Radio Flyer' would have liked to make his brutal stepfather "The King" pay for everything he did to him.It's a fun film to watch, original and imaginative. Yes, it's silly, but worthy for Joseph Mazzello's fans precisely thanks to him.

Ripshin This bomb looks like it was filmed in 1987, not 1997. It combines clichés from every 80s teen, sci-fi flick you can remember, and regurgitates them in the most annoying manner possible.What a step down for the kid actor from "Jurassic Park" - this really is absolute junk. I'm not surprised the director is responsible for producing "Enterprise" (worst of the "Trek" series), and season six of "24" - by far its weakest.To make matters worse, the script at one point actually has the main "characters" listening to scenes from "Lost in Space" - the wonderfully hokey TV series that looks like Shakespeare, compared to "Star Kid." Children deserve better than this. Yeah, they'll watch anything - so it's up to you parents to provide a little discretion. Rent "Flight of the Navigator," instead - a GOOD 80s kid's sci-fi movie.

Michael Satterwhite I liked this film; it's fun to watch. It's not a great film, but how many are? The computer graphics are good, the story is familiar but well handled. What makes it work is Joseph Mazzello. I really haven't seen him give a weak performance in anything, and he definitely carries this film.That's also what I consider the film's greatest weakness. Joseph has to do most of his acting from the inside of a helmet using only his face and voice. He handles it well, but it's a shame we don't get to see more of what he can do.It's a good film to watch with the whole family. I gave it a 5.
