Bolt from the Blue

I would say kids as young as 8 would both enjoy the movie and not be scared or put off by the storyline. The comedic delivery from the characters and funny lines are delivered in a way that adults will chuckle along while the language won't offend the younger audience. Overall feels like the sort of fun from Back to the Future meets Ghostbusters meets Goonies. Really an all around fun movie that also has a positive storyline that parents will enjoy their kids being impacted from. I watched this with my 12yo as I wasn't sure if my 7yo would like it or be scared, but afterwards I wished I had brought the littler one along. Overall a wonderful movie from a first time director and producer, highly recommended!

This is the kind of movie that we need.

I was sceptical at first but I the story took me away. I love the heart.

Acting is believable as are the characters. The story is heartwarming and new. Whomever wrote these characters did an excellent job, only a few cliches. The location is a character all in itself.

Science is in the forefront and it's somewhat believable, it looks possible. There are some scenes that you can tell they used a green screen but the special effects are mostly practical.

The camp is top notch.

The reason I give this a 9 out of 10 is because I will probably not watch this over and over again. I will rewatch, however only a few times.

We need movies like these.

More of this please.

A hidden gem, I really enjoyed this movie!

Easily this film could be received as B movie or confounded with some bad low budget ones, because for some feature remember a high level amatorial production or a fan made movie; but is not!

Unusual plot bring an unconventional storyline, definitely something different with great cast performance!

This film brought me back to some of my most favorite films from my childhood, like the Goonies.

I will definitely looking for other future works by this filmmakers.

A movie that deserves more recognition and worth a watch by any audience; specially recommended for family and youngsters.

Absolutely delightful fun movie for the whole family! We really enjoyed it and as I said in the headline, we need more movies that make people feel good and I felt great when I left the movie theater. Great job!! The scenery was spectacular. The story well thought out taking a person's dream and passion through thin and thick to achieve glory is something we seldom see these days in film. The acting was superb. I rarely am moved by movies but this one got me! Again nice job! I really do think this film would do great in schools as it would inspire young people to use their imagination and pursue dreams all the way to the finish line.

I felt like I was 8 again watching this film, reminding me of what it was like to have childhood wonder and fearless ambitions. The main male character was the epitome of charisma and his acting was incredible, down to his nuanced eye/facial movements and his body language. The chemistry between the leading actors felt genuine and lovely. Despite the simplicity of the plot, the movie never felt derivative, and if anything just reaffirms how much Hollywood has failed to deliver movies that aim for a singular target without missing the mark. But Jack Martin has done it with Bolt from the Blue. I'm confident whatever he makes in the future will inevitably get even better, and I cannot wait to see them!
