i first saw explorer when i be 6 and not long after the movie come out and still remain a film that can be watch again . even though this under rat movie by joe ( gremlin ) dante be for kid i still love watch it and it fulfill all kid dream who look up at the star and wonder what the heck be out there . the only bad comment i have on the film be the 2nd half when they actually encounter the alien . it get a bit silly but hay i do not think we complain a kid . well worth a purchase on dvd when it come out .
