Storyline

Summer camp at Rim of the World has barely begun when four misfit teenagers -- Alex, ZhenZhen, Dariush, and Gabriel -- find they've got bigger problems to face than learning how to canoe and climb ropes when aliens suddenly invade the planet. Alone in a campground once teeming with people, the kids are unexpectedly entrusted with a key that carries the secret to stopping the invasion. Without any adults or electronics to help guide the way, it's clear what they must do: band together, conquer their fears, and save the world.

Goofs

Earlier in the movie, an EMP knocks out all electronics and electric devices (such as cell phones). When the kids find the 1971 Mustang, one of them states that it is an older car which doesn't need electronics to run. However, when they start driving the car, they are shown turning the radio on and blasting the speakers.

Quotes

Dariush: It's pissed about its dog. You ever watched Marley and Me or Beethoven? It's a primal bond. It's out for revenge. Ask John Wick.

User Reviews

Why Are People So Harsh These Days? This Was a FUN Movie

...as it was intended... this was a FUN SciFi movie not meant to be taken seriously like Independence Day (for example). If you understand that, you will appreciate this movie for what it is. The cast was great. The effects were great. The plot was unbelievable---because it is FICTION---yes, there were some forced politically-correct themes in here and forced sympathy dialogue that could have been removed, but apart from that, I recommend watching it.
