If this movie can have a title that has nothing to do with the plot, this review can do the same. The movie has absolutely nothing to do with any sort of Battle for Skyark. Instead, it's about a bunch of ragtag kids trying to survive on earth that have been kicked out of Skyark.
People aged between 12-15 can probably add another 4 stars to this review, but otherwise this is pretty danged bad. I mean, I couldn't do better, and there's some cool costuming... but the script, plot, monsters and most of the acting all bring this 88 minute flick crashing down to the ground.
The movie had a couple of nice moments, Taylor Coliee & Garrett Coffey performed reasonably well under the weight of a pretty poor script, and the clichés were copious but fun. But it was let down by an almost nonsensical plot, no 'battle' for Skyark to be found and hammy script.
On the plus side for younger viewers, there's no blood/gore so this should be good for families with older kids (there are some scares) and there's plenty of PG action, thrills and romance to be had.
Think of the movie more like an exceptionally good high school film and TV assignment and less like a professionally produced movie, and you'll get the right idea.
I give this movie 2 out of 10 Broccoli Racing Cars
