Explorers -- a pico review.

[Gary Traveis]

Just saw EXPLORERS (7/8/85)...

From Joe Dante (Gremlins) comes a cute, fun, science fantasy
about a three kids who are given the key to interplanetary travel.
After some local mischief, the three (a street-kid, a sf-type, and
a student brainiac) head off to discover the answers to life, the universe,
and everything from an unseen all-knowing alien race.

What they expect is far from what they find.

I liked it, but I'm not sure it's worth the $5-$6 that most of
the bigger theaters normally ask. I give it a 7 out of 10. Good
family fare. Looks like they are already thinking-up the script
to EXPLORERS II.
