Plot: Explorers turns out to be much ado about nothing, but it's so sublimely assembled we're willing to overlook the sappy climax. Young sci-fi geek Ben Crandall (Ethan Hawke) (could he possibly be based on director Joe Dante?) would give anything to travel in space. Thanks to his computer-happy pal Wolfgang Muller (River Phoenix), Ben gets his wish, together with best bud Darren Woods (Jason Presson). In the Great Beyond, the boys encounter an extraterrestrial (Robert Picardo), whose knowledge of earth is limited to what he's gleaned from 1960s TV sitcoms (this is unusual?) Lots of outer-space fun ensues before the film's inevitable downward spiral. Moderately successful in theatres, Explorers had a healthy second life on video and cable TV, especially after director Dante rethought the film and rearranged a few scenes for better dramatic (and comic) impact. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

The movie was ok, much better when I was 8 rather than being older.
Still good but special FX's aren't that special.

My kids do not have the same taste as me. When I was younger, I loved this movie. I cannot get my kids to watch the whole thing without getting bored.

This movie is one of those that really draw you in from the beginning, as you are able to associate with the characters from your own childhood experiences. The story brings it all together in kind of a wizard of oz type way.

The Movie Is Such A Great Movie, I Had Remembered Watching it From When I Was Younger And I Didnt Remember The Name Until I Had Seen The Actual Dvd Cover, After Watching It Again It Brought Back So Many Memories, I Love This Movie, Three Young Boys Take An Adventure Of Their Own, And Come To Find Out You Can Do Anything If You Put Your Mind To It!
