But it's the plot that really ruins the film. Thematically, it's too basic for adults, but content wise is too much for most younger children. Away from the tropes that tonal issue is one that plagues the film, it should be a family friendly action adventure, but time and again the boundaries are pushed in terms of language and violence - the film has a 15 certificate in the UK. She is stoic, largely mute and ever capable - he is wisecracking, cowardly, and oddly sexual, given that he's supposed to be 12. The characters, particularly Miya Chen as Zehn Zehn and Benjamin Flores Jnr as Dariush are pure cliché. I'll use a word you're going to hear a lot in this review "Cliché". I'm not going to be too harsh on the actors themselves as the faults lie mostly in the way they are written. You could forgive a lot, in this sort of film, if the child stars were charming or endearing, but unfortunately this is not the case. With the location of the mothership in their possession, they must avoid perils both extra-terrestrial and human to deliver this information to the military. Though struggling to make friends, he's forced into a bond with three other children when an Alien invasion happens. He's forced by his mother to attend summer camp, at "The Rim of the World" mountain range above Los Angeles. Alex (Jack Gore) is an intelligent insular child suffering from bouts of anxiety since the death of this father. I decided to watch "Rim of the World" as I heard the writer on Kevin Smith's podcast recently and though he seemed like a lovely guy, with good ideas, I was really disappointed with the film.
