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.
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.
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...
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.
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!"
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.
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!
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
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.
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
HUH???? what River is coming back from the grave? Let's go explore that concept. I bet u think they shoul do a sequel to Titanic!! Yeah. get fucking real. IT was a complete dud.
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!
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
Love this movie! Always hoped for a sequel.
Wack!
