Rim of the World Ratings & Reviews
jackmeat
July 14, 2025
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.
But Why Tho? A Geek Community
Collier Jennings
A funny, character-driven film and a throwback to the sci-fi films that helped shape pop culture.
NME (New Musical Express)
Olly Richards
McG's biggest project in a while lacks the most important thing about the 80s films it tries to emulate - the sense of opening up a secret part of the world.
Cinema Crazed
Felix Vasquez Jr.
A grating, painfully awful movie that seems to work against everything that makes movies of this ilk so entertaining.
The Reader (Omaha, NE)
Ryan Syrek
Rim of the World is a spectacular failure at being the kind of early teen sci-fi adventure jaunt they just don't make anymore.
Perri Nemiroff (YouTube)
Perri Nemiroff
For those with a soft spot for coming-of-age adventures, Rim of the World is just passable, but it's riddled with logic leaps, tonal inconsistencies and out of touch humor.
Common Sense Media
Barbara Shulgasser
Kids save the world from bloody aliens; language, violence.
Black Girl Nerds
Jamie Broadnax
'Rim of the World' is a fun adventure flick filled with cool pop culture movie moments and a great story arc that makes this a movie worth adding to your Netflix queue.
TV Guide
Jordan Hoffman
The clockwork storyline is brazen in its adherence to formula, as if a Learning Annex seminar somehow came to life.
Screen Rant
Molly Freeman
Rim of the World attempts a new spin on the sci-fi adventure genre, but it fails to live up to, or set itself apart from, the movies that inspired it.

Nick Allen
Its greatest value is probably in how it could educate budding movie-lovers on cheesy and predictable storytelling, but even that seems like a lesson Rim of the World cynically teaches at an elementary level.
Blu-ray.com
Brian Orndorf
Lame improvisations and generic young teen rebellion beats. It's definitely bright and colorful, but the movie has no sincerity.
