Four misfit campers must band together and conquer their fears in order to save the world during an alien invasion.

My quick rating - 5.0/10. As with nearly all movies, there is the good and the bad. The problem here is that the way this fluctuates is so far both ways, it can't hit anything in the exact middle. It, at times, has the fun teen 80s adventure flick vibe going. Think a "Goonies" type thing, but than out of nowhere you get such out of place humor that is out of "American Pie" Having a young adult camp counselor look at a 12 year old kid and say "Stick it in my box" when referring to his cellphone is just so out of place yet that is what keeps happening in this movie. I kept thinking, pick an audience and stick with it. Ok, so the kids are all sent to a sleepover camp for basically outcast kids. When a few of them venture off to see what they can find, they run across a space vessel that has crashed. Out comes a female astronaut who warns them of what is after her, and her pod has also brought with it. Alien invasion time, and nearly everyone else in camp is wiped out. Just our little group of misfits now holds a USB that has been entrusted to them to deliver to fake NASA to save the world. So our painfully stereotypical group must travel across the state, avoiding the survivors of the planet attack, and the ever-chasing alien and its pet to save humanity. The action at times is decent, at others, not. Same as this whole film. It is just so uneven that I have no idea who Netflix thought would be watching it. Now that choice is up to you.
