[theseus27]

I liked the bit at 1:24 when Jason Presson (Darren) said "Sorry man, I wanna live!"

XD :)

[nater666]

I'm 22 years old but I grew up with this film. I feel bad for kids today.

[krazy4justin1]

River is the best. R.I.P

[AlanTookTheRedPill]

Was Ethan Hawk born a girl?

[Jonwood74]

Another classic from the summer of '85. Actually the whole year was good for movies. You had this, Back To The Future, Goonies, Young Sherlock Holmes, Gotcha!, Weird Science, Fright Night, Breakfast Club, Witness....the list goes on and on.

[startoverman]

I was like 4 when this came out. I thought it was cool. =)

[mille2701]

[alconalgon]

[pmbbike]

Ethan Hawke sounds like a girl in this movie.

[paulhunter123]

im gonna start dressing like river phoenix a lot like micheal j fox in family ties real class.

[betterthanbooks]

This may have been the first movie I ever saw. Back when I never heard of Star Wars.

[wrestlemania157]

@betterthanbooks better than star wars.

[WeedieWeedenhofer]

i fucking loved this movie

[wrestlemania157]

@WeedieWeedenhofer maybe my favorite movie. really gives kids something to thing about.

[DamnYourReallyUgly]

This is still an awesome movie. When movies had much more free direction and less corporate pressure.

[marcusleonswadling]

Who wants to watch a film with silly little high pitch American kids in it.

[betterthanbooks]

@marcusleonswadling

Everyone.

[infernosredeemer]

this movie was effin awesome till they met the aliens. then it bombs. but i like to watch the part leading up to that and imagine my own ending.

[latoniakimmons]

I was just looking at an Ethan Hawke interview and got directed to this video. I actually remember seeing this as a child. I thought this was Flight of the Navigator but they are two separate yet similar movies.

[riskybusiness80]

was this remastered?, seems theres an awfull lot more "colour"

[sailorvenussun]

I had to revisit this movie. So many epic lines.....

[blackmen1983]

River Phoenix RIP very young!!!

[itspeaks037]

internet - Grown Ups

[MajCinematic]

I have not seen this in YEAAARS!!! Wow, I use to watch this movie all the time when I was like 10

[GoldGriffin80]

Am I the only one that thought this movie was awesome...and would have been PERFECT if they'd removed the aliens from it? >:[ LAMEST ALIENS EVER!

[gsmaciel]

this film had a HUGE effect on me as a child...

[TheDonTheSon]

LITTE ETHAN HAWK TALKS LIKE A GIRL...AHHAHAHHA...

[irhjma30000]

Oh my gosh. I love this film not only for it's general nostalgia, but also the nostagia of seeing precious River Phoenix so young and adorable....

My goodness even here his acting blows everyone else out of the water. He makes the most adorable nerd and I LOVE seeing him in this movie....Thank you so much for the post! Even if they took the whole movie down......:( Screw youtube...

[McFlyLover92]

ethan hawke <3

[kayjay1196]

Ethan Hawk was gorgeous back then lolz

[83survivor]

Ethan Hawke's very first movie.

[MeBenHalpin]

Love this movie

[TehAndyHere]

The part in which aliens jump around in front of TV screens is pretty silly for me...but the movie as a whole is indeed very good and it definitely deserves to be one of the classics of children movies.

[halotango3]

Lol freaking ethan hawke

[daskatechanneltv2]

anyone remember inner space? dennis quad and martin short?

[candikayne334]

rot in hell river! hehhee...good riddance to this loser ass junkie heheheee

[raphaelalizee]

X-wing vs Tie fighter + Explorers, Animation created by me! just type in the search bar " X-wing vs Tie Fighter war in deathstar 3d Animation (The explorers) happy ending!"

[Nettikturbo]

This was the first VHS our family purchased!

LOVE this movie. 6 out of 5 stars.

[jackoider]

que chidos recuerdos me llegan a la mente, esta pelicula la vi cuando tenia como 5 años

[chuckysbride87]

any 1 know the kids name at 1:06

[gabyguel]

Jason Presson

[Violettero]

I've got the movie just yesterday!!! I want to see it now!!!

[punkmusic23]

now that i see this, i think i have seen this when i was little. hahaha...this is great!

[myso2008]

you can get this movie via megaupload

ID is =IVOLWU6A

[germanicelt]

When I think of it, I am so disappointed that River Phoenix wasn't alive to star opposite Ethan Hawke in 'Gatica' as Vincent. Jude Law did a fine job though, but I would've loved to see Ethan and River in another movie together, and 'Gatica' would've been perfect for that.

[karlyeliana]

I love ethan hawek!!!! I've seen each of his moviessss !!! but this is new to me. ,, and there is more young than in the other

anyway, thanks for uploading the video =) graciasss !!

[ryuhyubusa]

explorers, goonies, gremlins i love the old ones... old......damn i'm old

[FeenixRyzing]

@ryuhyubusa No Kidding me too.  How about E.T. in the theatre (a drive-in) no less.

[GoldGriffin80]

@ryuhyubusa We're not old...the world just got less cool. :)

[danniegirl1213]

@ryuhyubusa You're not,cuz I'm only 12,and I love those movies.The Goonies has been my favorite since I was 3.

[MrClamSmaka]

this really is a fantastic film. they dont make them like they use to..

[TherealMarcomanRedux]

A long time ago...

[whysoserious1979]

an amazing film till they get to the spaceship then it was shit

[KotzeKotze]

yeah the spaceship in the end was crap...saw the movie long long time ago...about 10 year...almost forgot about it...then I saw it on TV against yesterday...yeah...but the aliens are stupid!

[GamerFromDuskTilDawn]

I have not seen this movie for years I feel old

[germanicelt]

I just watched it last week for the first time since I'm guessing.....1992. Use to watch it all the time in the late 80s.

[sbm5109]

this movie can "FEILD OFF" !!

[jazzica90]

I love this movie !

[jude5478]

Great little film , another flick i could watch again and again , it holds it own with the likes of Goonies and The Monster squad and not forgetting flight of the Navigator

[labbie87]

I LOVE The Goones!! I pretty much have the whole thing memorized...yeah, I'm wierd. lol

Flight of the Navigator was good too.

I haven't seen The Monster Squad...do you reccommend it? lol

[jude5478]

Yes i deffo recommend it , its in the style of Goonies but with monsters in and there's a 2 disc dvd come out which needs to be purchased ;0)

[kenster545]

i been looking for this so long this is my fav movies omg i cant beleave i fond it

[noeprayer]

I like little wolfgang so tender...rest in peace River,we miss you forever.

[Miaka68]

Aw, prepubescent River before he

got all deep-voiced and tall, and sexy. :'D

He's so cute here.

*GLOMPS* I miss him so much D:

[synclavier123]

Whoever wrote the alien spaceship bit did a whole plate of coke beforehand...

[yanndick]

lol

According to Dante himself, the problem is, as many of others of his movies, this was not his own cut, plus EXPLORERS' first edit wasn't even finallized when the studios released it.

RIP River...

[iluvsimon09]

I love jasons voice(Darren) it sounds so cool!

[sleepersgurl]

i dont think anything with river phoenix should be re-made it would be ruining a classic and im preety sure his shoes are gonna be hard as hell 2 fill he was the best

[mark4eva27]

@sleepersgurl i love you for saying that lol

[ElectricPineapple79]

@sleepersgurl same can be said abo8ut any 80's movie...Rivers wasn't the only good actor from the 80's....every remake is pure blasphemy!

[pippilans]

It's cool to see young Ethan and his voice was too cute <3!

[lines80]

[SpaceComics]

One of my all-time favorite films.

[auselena]

I started liking Ethan when I saw him in this movie. It came on all the time on cable TV back then. His voice hadn't changed yet...what a cutie! Still like him today!

[fibertech9]

COoL BuT WeIrD aS HELL!

[p3c3]

When I think about underrated movies this always comes to my mind first. I LOVE it!

[heliogabalus227]

this movie prepared ethan for training day

[dingorex]

Saw this in Sumter South Carolina at the Palmetto Plaza twin theater July 1985 while on vacation,

Loved every minute of it including first contact with Neek and Wak,,,great Goldsmith score

Jeffery Lyons was the only big tv critic at the time to recommend it

[ACriminalMind]

I LOVED this movie when i was a kid :) - very hard to find

[Bumperdan]

It was my favorite movie has a kid and I found it easely on Ebay :)

[broanny]

loved this movie when i was a kid

[coldsuns87]

omg ethan was such a puppy back then heh

[darkness9018]

i seen him nude 2 times on TV when he was like 20-25 from this movie it was sexy

[AndyJsJ29]

Ethan looks so different now ( training day ).

[bedofskeletons]

They definitely don't look or sound 15

But they were both really cute

[Toneman]

What I'd REALLY like to know: where did Darin (Jason Presson) run off to? Last I saw him was in Gremlins 2, and an episode of In The Heat of the Night

[horni1]

Why did he have to o.d.?? That still SUCKS! Thank god for Joaquin...he's all we have left of River.

[AndyJsJ29]

I never understood why they built the ship. Why did'nt they just sit inside the bubble with the gas and computer? lol

[chiefchumley]

I've been on this kick, where I need to see the old movies. Tron, Starman, The Black Hole, The Navigator, and now Explorers....

[summernightmare93]

yeah, both,bUT River is No1.

[ponygirl05]

River and Ethan were both adorable children!!! :)

[Carlyta23]

I think River Phoenix was..i love him..*Love*

Peace!

[missmambo2005]

[sabishii]
