Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
Explorers itself is bubble-thin, but it glides by gracefully on the charm of its three young heroes and their vividly envisioned adventure in space.
– Kevin Thomas,
Los Angeles Times,
26 Aug 2013
fresh:
It looks terrific, moves along at a gallop, and is marvellously good-natured.
– Geoff Andrew,
Time Out,
26 Jan 2006
fresh:
Explorers,' which is lively but largely familiar until the point when it reaches its batty pinnacle, frequently shows off Mr. Dante's sense of humor to good advantage.
– Janet Maslin,
New York Times,
20 May 2003
rotten:
Explorers remains a hopelessly schizophrenic film, obscenely eager to compromise its own originality.
– Dave Kehr,
