This concerns me
nogodnomasters13 January 2019
Warning: Spoilers
A group of trouble making teens from South Chicago who look like bad actors are taken semi-boot camp style out to the country near a nuclear power plant. Like all teens, they are annoying and my only regret is that they don't all die. They act like two-year-old kids, female teens, and male testosterone. Meanwhile some masked terrorist plan an attack at a nuclear station. Only these kids can save the aquifer from deadly poisonous neon green liquid plutonium.

The plot was silly. First off nuclear power plants don't have that kind of waste. Processing facilities generate that kind of waste and they don't place it in incorrectly marked drums. Plants do not have an alarm whereby one knows they are under attack. They have site and general emergency alarms, but no "terrorists are attacking us" alarm. No cell phone reception near a nuclear plant?

I got really tired of moody teen Booboo Stewart.

Guide: No swearing, sex, or nudity.

Needs a Re-Edit to fix some flaws - here's how:
aidanrawnsley-446-23521712 August 2020
Warning: Spoilers
I don't want to trash this movie like the other reviews, but I genuinely think if someone gave it a shot at re-editing this movie it could fix a lot, here's how I'd do it:
  • Open with Booboo's flashback to show how he got in trouble, let us know he's the main character and why we should be rooting for him.
  • Something is off with the audio during the scene in the creek at night, the cinematography in this scene looks great, but the broken audio is really distracting and needed either cleaning up or re-recording.
  • The gun sounds don't sound great either, they could do with some meatiness adding to them, make them sound powerful and make them echo and reverb.
  • The VFX isn't exactly up to 2018 standards, I know VFX is expensive but there's definitely better stuff to use for more convincing explosions (main point being the helicopter crashing into the turbine).
  • It would've been nice for the terrorists to have dialogue, rather than just being silent, faceless, unmotivated goons. If Nils Allen Stewart (his name misspelled in the credits by the way) was their leader it would have been nice to see and hear him giving orders to his men and adding tension and drama to the climax.
  • There's lots of teleporting going on. Booboo is with Chombo at the farm and then they're suddenly helping the girl out of the river without showing how they got there or why the other kids didn't try and save her. The girl initially falling into the river was a little unclear, same as when she and Mack were suddenly wading through a creek looking for the blonde girl, this could be fixed with editing providing there's footage to insert.
Later during the climax Booboo is suddenly being chased by a van without any build up to it.

It's little things like that that make this film seem amatuer and it could all be fixed quite easily, but it makes me wonder why it wasn't fixed before release, my guess is because of a low budget the director wasn't always able to shoot a lot of coverage of scenes and then was left to edit together scenes and sequences that don't quite flow or make sense.

Little nit pick: the two brothers are both shot in the stomach and die instantly but the girl shot in the centre of her chest lives.

I really really liked the homage to Buster Keaton with the falling wall stunt that Booboo pulled off. That was a great addition!

Soooooo very, very bad!
mzmojorizn-4068913 July 2019
I gave this one star because the only redeeming quality was getting to look at Booboo Stewart without his shirt! This movie was so stupid. It was poorly written. Poorly acted. The special effects were lame. It was just awful. Do not waste your time. I wish I could get the hour and a half back myself.

Booboo 1

Movie 0. What a train wreck of a motion picture. The director is from middle school. I think.

Bad film
doclee32-725-12763320 December 2018
Terrible film. The worst I have seen. Bad acting, directing and screenplay. Poor story maybe just trying to make it funny but certainly not. Rather racial too making the Chinese so cruel. The Chinese actor is a disgrace to his race agreeing to star in this show just for financial gain I guess. Chinese will never do such a thing to kill innocent people.

What a fail
asaadany-717004 May 2021
If there is 0 star I would chose it, watch this movie if you want to know that acting, script writing and directing are not professions that you can do with money only, this movie is a shame on the director and the cast.

Worst unbelievable ever
wakachangiexpress28 July 2020
U have to watch it to understand how bad of a cast plot and in general flow a movie can be. A high-school kid with little to know acting or film production knowledge could do better

This was 1 and a half hours of my life gone forever
dazzlingdarz15 July 2020
This was worse than watching paint dry. The special effects were worse than poor, the make up was on par with a kindergarten attempt and acting was below average. At least we had a laugh.

The movie was a bit wierd with the pervert humour and blonde act. The huge helicopter was chased by a walmart drone. Liked how they had the actors from blind side and Cory in the house.

7 stars..... becuase ...
meanolddrunk2 December 2018
To start with im not familiar with the cast. never heard of Booboo.the only reason i looked this up on imdb was because i thought nicholas cage's sons were in it. i can honestly say that the actors i thought might be related to him out performed Mr. Cage in anything he has done past 1999. the movie.....its not bad, its not good.... something in between. ummm its worth a watch if your out of options on a sunday afternoon. 7 stars??? ... hmmm yeah well... the story is different than most crap today. its a low budget movie.... what else can i say?
