Entertainment Reviews:
Rating: 3/5 --
the rousing kind of kid flick that inspires ten-year-old boys to grab broomsticks, storm the neighborhood hill, and go nuts on pretend aliens with ridiculous faux karate moves.

Overlooked sci-fi tale. Great fun.

It embraces its derivativeness and runs with it to deliver a fun kids space opera that's simple, but exciting.

Rating: 2.5/4 --
Charmingly hokey...takes the suburban-working-class-folks-meet-space-aliens paradigm of early Spielberg and marries it to Lucas' Star Wars. [Blu-ray]

...[It] taps its sources with the zest of a vampire, and the result, if unoriginal, is nevertheless buoyant....Good-humored, bent on action and even touching...

Definite "Star Wars" influenced, this trailer park adventure takes off, succeeds on own.

If you're going to shamelessly rip off Star Wars, make sure you do it with as much spirit as this film.

Product Description:
Teenager Alex Rogan lives and works in the trailer-park that his mother owns. His life consists of contemplating his rather bleak future, and waiting for word on his college loan application to arrive. One night all this changes forever. Alex possesses an extraordinary skill at video games, and when this skill attracts a space-travelling recruiter looking for pilots to protect the galaxy from outside forces, he suddenly finds himself on another planet in the middle of an inter-galactic war. It seems that his game-playing abilities are an invaluable military asset to the embattled "Star League of Planets."
