December 26, 2014One of the greatest directors of all time, Joe Dante, made this highly entertaining space exploration movie that inadvertently devolved into something really annoying as soon as extraterrestrials were involved. For the most part though, 'Explorers' is a really good movie. Ethan Hawke and River Phoenix star as best friends who use the best in home technology from the early 80's (as well as blueprints to a futuristic circuit board from Hawke's recurring dream) to create a spacecraft that allows for interplanetary travel. After leaving our planet's atmosphere, they find themselves compelled towards another spaceship where they meet and become friends with two highly obnoxious aliens. I do recommend this movie (as well as every other Dante film), but don't be surprised if you find yourself reaching for the remote after just a few minutes with the aliens.
