This film offers a charming, albeit familiar, adventure that's easy to enjoy but hard to love deeply. The story follows a group of kids on a lunar journey, and while it hits the right notes of friendship and discovery, it doesn't push the boundaries of the genre. The visuals are decent, and the lunar landscapes create a sense of wonder, but the plot doesn't break new ground-it's the kind of story you've seen before. The characters are likable, though some lack the depth that would make their journey truly resonate. There's heart here, and the film's intentions are good, but it never quite reaches the emotional highs it aims for. Crater is a pleasant watch, especially for a younger audience, but it's not a film that will stay with you long after the credits roll.
I was wondering if there is no friends of the people who were involved in this production. Why is it with a low evaluation. Its 4,7 when I write this.
It its a Disney production with a beautifull coming of age story. There are the elements of drama and comedy and a family like story, that can atract a public of young age and adults.
Some picky adults will complain about some sciency inacuracy in some sequences. But it serves the script.
I am not an English native, so, pardon my mispells or another errors. I could use some translation tools, but I chose not to.
Those were a light almost 90 minutes of leisure.

I mean i understand that it is not a great movie, but it isn't that bad that it gets only a 5.3 rating. This movie is about a band of friends filled with emotions, have dreams, cares for each other. They really show their bonding all over the movie. And that is what all matters.
The fun little adventure they had, the sudden fear of danger, trying to get out of that danger, all things were written so well. I know it might feel like generic sci-fi movie and it is 100% scientifically accurate. But keep in mind that it wasn't meant for adult viewers. It's a movie for the young ones. Who have dreams and want to have a quality time while watching it.
To anyone reading any bad reviews or wanted to skip this movie because it has a bad rating, don't listen to anyone. Give it a shot. It's worth it.

It's not a bad movie for the whole family, but i think my wife and I enjoyed it more then our ten and twelve year olds as they both were not glued to the tv and both lost interst at different times. I think adults would like a bit more backstory and kids would like it to be a little more fast paced. As a previous reviewer has said, stand by me and goonies on the moon is a pretty good comparison.. but is nice to see disney getting back to the basics..
After the death of his father, a boy growing up on a lunar mining colony takes a trip to explore a legendary crater, along with his four best friends, prior to being permanently relocated to another planet.

I have to admit that I was actually harboring some expectations to this 2023 Disney family sci-fi adventure titled "Crater" from writer John Griffin and director Kyle Patrick Alvarez. Sure, I had never heard about the movie prior to sitting down to watch it, but with it being a Disney movie, then I figured chances were good of it being an enjoyable movie.
Talk about a swing and a miss. I managed to endure close to an hour of the 105 minute runtime that "Crater" ran for, and then I gave up out of sheer and utter boredom. The storyline in "Crater", as written by John Griffin, had the appeal of wet cardboard. It was so difficult to get submerged into the storyline and finding anything to enjoy. And it didn't help one bit that the characters in the movie were every bit as bland and irrelevant as the storyline itself. In fact, my 13 year old son, whom I sat down to watch "Crater" with, he gave up on the movie not even 20 minutes into the ordeal.
I wasn't familiar with the cast ensemble in the movie, but it was a shame that the actors and actresses were literally given nothing worthwhile to work with and to bring to the screen. I am sure that there were some good talents among the cast ensemble, they just didn't get to shine on the screen at the hands of director Kyle Patrick Alvarez.
Visually then "Crater" was good. It being a Disney movie does have its perks, and a proper budget for proper effects is one of those things. And it shows, because the CGI effects and special effects in "Crater" were good, realistic and added something good to the movie. Ultimately, the special effects could only do so much to alleviate for the movie's shortcomings in every other department.
"Crater" came and went without leaving as much as a ripple. And believe you me, when I say that I have zero interest in returning to the movie and attempt finish watching it. I just simply cared nothing about the flaccid and nearly non-existing storyline, nor of the one-dimensional character gallery.
This was a big disappointment of a movie, I have to say that much.
My rating of "Crater" lands on a very generous three out of ten stars.
