Skyrunners

It's a Disney sci-fi movie from 2009, did anyone expect it to be amazing? I think the reviews need to give this movie a little more credit. It had a fun plot about a boy getting superpowers from a UFO he and his brother found, which I enjoyed. The cheesy jokes, teen boy fantasy story, and mid-grade special effects didn't necessarily detract from the movie, and in my opinion gave it the sort of badly-aged energy that makes some older made-for-tv movies entertaining. If you're looking for a cheesy sci-fi movie to watch with the family, this one was fun and enjoyable!

This came out when I was 10... never saw it. Wasn't really a Disney XD kind of gal. Saw it today and it was fun. Threw me back in time a little bit. Was cheesy but funny and overall a good movie to watch. Plenty of twist but remember this is a child's movie so yeah fun.

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...

I just recently watch this movie, and I thought the movie was super great. The whole movie was perfect until the plot twist at the end. So I was wondering when is the sequel to the first skyrunners is go to be release, or what is the release date of skyrunners 2.

I saw this one when it came out on Black Friday of 2009, and decided to watch it again on Black Friday of 2019. To say the least I was pleasantly surprised how well it held up over 10 years. First of all if your reading the negative reviews let me say this in response. This in a sci-fi movie about aliens, made to be family friendly. Disney perhaps took a cheesy route on a few things because I imagine the didn't want a lot of feedback for parents about their kids having nightmares from the film. I have to commend Disney on making a film that held the line between being engaging sci-fi and family friendly. As for the acting I'd say or was on par for most Disney Channel films of not a little better. What got me the most about this film after watching it after ten years is the special effects. Again a few cheesy moments now and then, but for the most part the mixed practical and CGI effects held up well. With that said the one aspect of this film I really liked was the relationship between the two brothers, which the film does dig into throughout the movie. It was a direction I didn't expect the film to make, but really bought some heart to the film.

This movie doesn't have some deep story, doesn't have some great lesson you and it is different from many other movies. What makes it different? It is relaxing. No hard thinking, just watching and enjoying. Actors are cool. There are so many movies with such complicated topics, and it is great to finally watch something and enjoy, be free from all problems and worries. Many people dislike Skyrunner because it is so simple, totally uncomplicated movie. They forgot how to lay on the grass and just watch the sky. If you still know how to do it, watch this movie and expect nothing. That is the beauty. You will feel relaxed. And I really hope it will be part 2 of this movie, as the end suggests it.

I loved the film. It's fun most of the time. What happens in the movie is like a dream come true for a young teen. Love the topics: revenge against those who bully younger students, becoming visible, stronger and more confident, traveling on a space ship, overcoming difficult moments. The movie es very exciting and it keeps you interested all the time. At the end, I was hoping for a sequel or a tv series. Sadly there are none. So the only next best thing is watching the film again.

It's the most bad script I've ever seen and I seen over 3000 movies, everything was bad...

This was a cool movie. You have to go easy on it considering it is a made for TV movie. I thought it was a really cool movie. A kid whose been picked on becomes someone with confidence and abilities to back it up. The acting (for the parts they where playing) was great. They delivered all the lines perfectly. They reacted very convincingly to everything that occurred. Whether it be fear, excitement, happiness, confidence, being tough...etc. People have to remember though, this is a TV movie. The acting can't be blockbuster level. The effects can't be blockbuster level. An so on. The one thing I can't wrap my head around is: How did they age the younger brother from pre-puberty to later puberty looks? I understand they can add fake facial hair, and use prosthetic make-up on his face to mature his facial features,and body suit to make his shoulders broader and musculature larger. But how did they make him taller, and how did they make his voice deeper?? I thought Joey Pollari did great!:) You couldn't tell he was a newcomer, he seemed very adjusted to the part. And Kelly Blatz was cool, he was cool as an older brother. Good actor. If this had been a blockbuster movie theater movie I would give it a 5.5/10. But it's not so as a TV movie I give it a 10/10!! Awesome! :) :) :)
