Alternate Universe: A Rescue Mission

I do not want to belittle their efforts. The teens may have had some great mentors in the making of this movie, but something was off in this flick.

First of all, the "background" music was too loud and there were moments in the movie that I could barely hear the characters speaking. I am not deaf but the music was deafening.

I could see Mr. Geuttenberg's hand in the making of this movie from the stylized quips and gestures. Yet from my years of watching movies, I just felt that the screenplay was a bit lacking of something especially with the help of the experts from all around.

Maybe young teens may not understand what I mean, but when you have adults aiding in the making of this, one would think it could have been better.

Excellent movie for the Teen/Preteen set. It sets out to teach lessons in cooperation, ethics, etc. At about 10-15 minutes into the show I was ready to turn it off, it was getting so boring and going nowhere. Once the physics teacher got more into the picture, the plot began to hold together. The science was basically a means to an end. I doubt high school physics could teach these youngsters how to build what they did, even with the added "resources" the teens had available to them and what their grandmother tried to downplay.

A "feel good" movie for the family, but not in the same league as "Star Trek" and other television sci-fi.
