I always dream about playing Pacman

[nogodnomasters · 4/10 · 23 July 2017]

This is a poorly crafted and poorly acted story aimed at preteen boys, the more geeky and bullied the better. Four boys accidentally come into possession of "toys" from the future, brought back in time. The "toys" include gloves that increase strength, shoes that increase speed, a hat that increases intellect, a mask that changes how a person looks, and a ball that connects to a future holographic Internet. With the toys they are able to win at street basketball, overcome bullies, and save the world from the bad guys who want the toys. Sigh. Oh ya, there is a geek girl that joins the group.

It is a film that an adult has trouble sitting through. Your Lavagirl and Sharkboy fans might like it, but it is nowhere as good.

Fun Escapist Adventure

[Enrique-Sanchez-56 · 9/10 · 26 July 2017]

This is a fun movie that took me away from the drudgery and responsibilities to give me a really great time. Kudos to Ed Begley, Jr. for a fine natural performance that avoided any reference to another movie that comes to mind.

The movie was obviously not financed heavily by Hollywood, but it overcame this obstacle by offering us a group of charismatic but very UN-Hollywood-type young actors that obviously had a lot of fun making this Fantasy Sci-Fi film. I would love to see all of these young people again.

The fantastic TOYS the young people found were fun to watch and enjoyable plus the technical results were MUCH more than acceptable. Some might think they need to belittle this movie because we have ALL been spoiled by Hollywood's ultra-high production values. I SAY - let's make MORE films like this. Let's NOT spend a ton of money only to be disappointed so many times. Let's experiment!~ THIS is what movies are ALL about! Thank you to the creators of this film - I hope there IS A SEQUEL!

Great spin on sci fi

Too many sci fi movies are all gloom and doom, but here is one that is good for the whole family.

They took a sci fi movie and added humor to it while teaching something. I hope they make a sequel because they could conceivably pick up where this one left off.
