Explorers Ratings & Reviews
- Richard29 september 2025I first saw Explorers on a rented VHS tape, probably from the corner video store with faded carpet and shelves packed with possibility. That tape had the kind of wear that only comes from being loved by dozens of kids before me and when I popped it into the VCR, I was gone. The first half is pure magic, but the second half gets strange. The movie isn’t perfect. But for anyone who ever dreamed of building something wild in their backyard and launching into the stars, it’s unforgettable.
- Zokkiie27 december 2025A quirky 80s sci-fi with a fun, out-there idea and definite Spielberg vibes. The story gets a bit messy and rushed at times, but the sense of adventure and creativity mostly carries it. Not a perfect movie, but it’s a fun, nostalgic ride that’s easy to sit back and enjoy.
