SPOILERS.
An average film for your kind of average, not really kids. The story opens up with three kids at summer camp, also called Rim of the World. Alex's father passed away and he is a nerdy kid whose mom has just about had it with his timid nature and sends him to summer camp. ZhenZhen saw a magazine ad for Rim of the World and the euphoria the person on it looked like. Trying to escape her hateful father, she travels from China to attend the camp. Dariush is the sassy black kid whose father is a millionaire, however has gone bankrupt and is going to prison. All three are at the camp and are canoeing when the three kids wander off in the woods. They meet Gabriel, who bounced from juvie. Too late for their cool escapades and good thing Gabe-y old boy showed up cause uneven numbers are just a drag in this world. 

As if a bogus summer camp couldn't get worse...aliens.

Right on time for all the kids to meet up conveniently, right in time for the entire world to go to shit and aliens invade. A dying astronaut crashes out of the sky and sees the kids, giving them a key that is needed to go to a NASA station, called JPL....like 70 miles away. The aliens kill Conrad and the kids run away. On their way to the sheriffs office, they find out that Asia and Europe are toast. Then step in my homies, who like...don't even have a haircut. SERIOUSLY, they decided to put MARINES, you know..like MY JOB, MY CAREER onscreen and as normal, they couldn't even get close to portrayal. I mean nevermind the fact that they put them in deserts, which you only wear to a desert climate, but they didn't give them even a haircut. Nevermind that, moving on in plot...

Leaving the camp. Into the big bad world.

The kids couldn't get any further than less than 150 ft. with the Marines, lawls okay...., the kids get attacked three times by one alien before the finally make it to JPL. Sucks to suck though cause the doctor is straight up dead. They do talk to a "general" of what branch, it looks like the Army, but the rank is again all fucked up and he doesn't have a haircut either. The key from the astronaut Conrad was a GPS for the alien ship. They use missiles to target the alien ship. All four of the kids get the rocket going and launch them on up. The kids then escape JPL and watch as the aliens are blown to bits. ZhenZhen gives Alex a kiss for his bravery and you get a slide show of photos that show that Alex and his mother meet up, the kids are now heroes. They are knighted by Queen Elizabeth II (which is weird cause you know...they are in America...none are British and one of them is Chinese.)

All in all, light hearted movie, not the best but interesting to see an alien takeover film that seems for the most part accurate. Like if aliens made it to Earth, they would RIGGETY RIGGETY WRECK THIS PLACE. ahahahaha. Sad face. Not the best movie though and seemed like they tried too hard to play up racial stereotypes.
