Talk:Explorers (film)

message: To carry on, I believe this is an underrated movie and it had a profound affect on me as a child. At least, the first 2/3 did. The last third of the movie I'd rather forger, as I'm sure Dante would too. I'm absolutely certain this was rushed to cinemas to meet a marketing deadline. The tonal shift in the film is far too stark to be a serious effort in filmmaking. Someone decided to shortcut Dante. Whether this will ever be proved or not, I don't know, but I'm absolutely certain that this film did not end as was originally envisioned. Had this film been allowed more time and money to chart its own course, we could have a rival for Flight of the Navigator, The Last Starfighter or even E.T. here, but as it turned out, the film fell flat in its final act. A shame for a film with so many great young actors and so much promise throughout the bulk of the script.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.1.180.71 (talk) 04:03, 3 April 2011 (UTC)

text: * That sounds about right (my favourite movie). I dont know if it was an oxygen regeneration system that was placed in after using the masked as I cannot remember this being said in the film. But I do remember seeing a unit with fumes (looking like air) rising from the back of the boys in the ship. I just thought this just eaiser then having the masks with the tank still supplying the air. Sorry for spelling. MattyC3350 (talk) 11:14, 30 June 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Inconsistency

message: I removed the sentence about a book being seen on one of the boys desk along with the report that a hand can be seen beind the Thunderoad model when circled by the helicopter. The book because this can be seen by people watching the movie without having to point it out, and the hand behind the ship, I cant find any ref for this plus me and some mates have watched this film more then a few times and cannot see/remember this happening. Please make sure to read Wiki's Guidelines to Trivia sections before adding anymore. MattyC3350 (talk) 11:11, 30 June 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Trivia Section 

message: I apologise for being very vague, but I remember reading that the film was rushed to cinemas, and that the final sequences were greatly shortened from the original script; and the IMDB's trivia section states that the film was taken from Joe Dante and released "as-is" before it had been fully completed. How was the film originally supposed to end? Does the novelisation (which would presumably be based on the original script) differ significantly from the film? -Ashley Pomeroy (talk) 14:44, 13 February 2009 (UTC)
