This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

Beautiful movie! Great imagination and way of presenting common issues. As the main character gets trapped in an environment that mimics his home town it does not quite replace it. This speaks to we as a society or individuals offer others a comfort area or object in order for others to feel at home. However, we miss the most important things which are the connections they have to home not home itself. The alien that collects other creatures and provides them an environment which mimics their hometown may genuinely be trying to help these creatures be happy as they can do as they please in their restricted area. However, he does not see that solitude is not for everyone and that objects (such as a house) is not as important as the relationships they have and their day to day experiences. Many times we too wish to just be abducted by Aliens if only for a moment to not live in such a chaotic world or have to face our fears. However, it is not until we realize that our world has more to offer than our presenting problems that we begin to value it. I watched it as child and for several years still remains a great movie. Perhaps now the special effects may not be as powerful but if you allow yourself to see the movie for what it is and perhaps attempt to see it through a child's eye, or through someone who is eager to please others, someone, who wants to get away, or someone who began their journey with something in mind and lost their purpose on the way, you may greatly enjoy the film.

I have seen this Disney movie maybe four times because Disney plays their movies so much, and have every time thought that is was a bit odd. One thing that I found that made this movie not as good as it could have been, was the "perfect" family that was in the movie. For some reason, the main character, Mike, thinks he has such a terrible life, when that really isn't true. Even though he thinks that he is upon the area of being incommodious to the place he lives in, Earth, that still isn't a reason to want to leave, is it? There is another thing about his life that makes it exquisitely neat that you will find out if you watch the movie. The family seems to be perfect with no flaws in the family except for some whimsical parents. Even his sister is typical. There really was not a lot of thought that went into making this family different from boring. If the writer was trying to express this family like this, he or she could have make the family more interesting even if they had this family planned like this. The plot of the story is somewhat weird as well. The story does not flow in the end. It shifts to an entirely different kind of story it seems like. Basically what is does is discontinues from what the story had to offer, a movie that took place in a small town. Not somewhere bizarre like where it seems to take place in the end. The movie just sort of turned out not as it could have, and not how I would have expected. This is also the type of movie that someone could like just because they want to, but deep down inside they may think that it is a movie that isn't so good after all.This movie is overall a little boring, it has some action scenes and some good scenes, but all in all I think it is not as good as some of the other Disney Channel Original movies. I think that is is worth seeing once or twice, but you shouldn't expect a lot from it. There are some funny lines, but some are not. I think that overall, I would give this movie a 6 out of 10, for lacking what could be the most important thing in movies: the will to keep the audience watching.

I watched this movie because my favourite actor, Malcolm McDowell does a voice of one of the aliens. I was not very impressed with the story. Young children might find it entertaining for as long as it lasts, but it's not very memorable. The aliens aren't too bad, but the other effects, at the dance and the main character's supposedly high-tech equipment are pretty cheesy. The movie moves very slowly and it takes most of the movie for the premise to set in. If they had either started the movie about half way through and made a bigger deal about the adventure on the other planet, or gone in a totally different direction from the midway point, the movie might have been redeemable. However, it's not. All the characters are pretty shallow. The main character can't seem to decide if he is or isn't an alien. The bully character goes along with their plans just because he is dared which doesn't make a whole lot of sense. Anyway, it's a shallow movie.

About a teenaged boy suffering rejection angst who messages The Universe to come and take him away because he doesn't belong on earth. The movie overall is "sweet" - no one is too awful, and nothing too terrible happens to him. The production values are so low as to become distracting; i.e., the aliens are not cute or interesting, the halloween dance has a total of about 20 participants, and his "high tech equipment" consists of a laptop and a backyard satellite dish. You have never heard of any of the actors in this, except for the kid nextdoor neighbor. I watched it because TV Guide rated it very very highly - I wonder what they were thinking of.
