This is a fun film for children I suppose but it is lacking in imagination or creativity. It's "in one ear and out the other". The plot is quite lame although for a young adolescent boy, the "what if it was me" factor is there and will probably push the right buttons just like the instant sugar rush from a cola drink. I just think it's a shame that the acting is so bad and the budget wasn't used for something more worthwhile. This film borrows so much from "Flight of the Navigator" but the unrealistic teen banter and focus on impressing the girls being the be all and end all for teen boys lets it down. My advice for parents... it's harmless but also a bit mindless. If your children haven't yet seen "Flight of the Navigator" then turn them on to that instead. It has so much more going for it; a much better plot for one thing and it's still relatively un-dated for a film that was made over 25 years ago. "Skyrunners" is a poor copy and not nearly so "wholesome".

Worth watching at least once, yes of course! The movie began well, with strong character representation between the 2 brothers. I would have liked to see more bonding between the younger brother and the spacecraft, something like 'Flight of the Navigator', to which I could not help mentally back dropping. Certainly they could've, because the ship had already affected the boy in many ways. Most of the other characters were a bit lame, if I compare with others of similar genre.

After the first half, the movie was cheesy and predictable. The way they played out the aliens part was disappointing, using Godzilla monster types. The way the elder brother had to win over his ladylove was a letdown. There were no morals or lessons to be learned here. With the ending, I got the feeling everything was so hastily put together - almost abrupt, although it did leave the way open for a sequel.

However, it was fun and did keep me interested and made me laugh on occasion, so I'd give it a '5'.

Don't worry, they are only vague...but it is a kid (and his brother) meeting up with an alien spaceship of indeterminate origin. After that, it's a totally different plot...well kinda, as the naughty guy government types are trying to get control...but then we have aliens trying to take over Earth too.

Yeah, this review is rambling, but that's ok, the movie does too. Honestly, this is a mish mash of several different stories I've seen, but after you get over how childish it seems at first you can actually enjoy it...no, it will never be a blockbuster...
