i remember see this film in a summer school class i be in in the early 90 . i seem to remember the film be an interesting romp back then so i decide to give this film another watch . remarkably the film still hold up well even though it a movie primarily aim at child and however the film be really bring down by the third act . explorer tell the story of three friend ( ben and wolfgang and and darren ) who stumble upon a way to make a spacecraft after ben sketch a diagram from a weird dream he have one night and a the spacecraft get near to completion it become obvious that ben dream may not of simply be a stroke of luck . it appear someone or something not of this earth be seek them out . like i say previously and explorer be a film that hold up extremely well even a an adult and it creative exciting and give the kid a personality beyond what be often see in the medium . the scifi motif be nice too and and leave the audience want to know more about what exactlys go on . unfortunately when the kid do reach space the whole thing completely fall flat . the director wasn not quite sure where to go from their and a a result it turn into a cornball comedy that seem to try way to hard for the audience approval . still despite this it do have a good first half and the message in the third act be interest even if it hide under bad joke and horrible dialog . so i be give it a seven despite the lackluster end . see a spaceship control by 14 year old crash around town be just too much fun and even if it eventually loose steam .
