I think that Rim of the World is perhaps just a little too pleased with itself.
But if you want to watch a team of plucky kids — who, frankly, look like they were designed in a cutting-edge lab and then focus-tested by an absolutely top-of-the-line social engineering firm — deal with an alien invasion while cracking jokes in a family-friendly format, this may be your jam. …And yes, OK, when I put it that way it doesn’t actually sound wretched. The trailer made me laugh in a couple of places. Which is its job, really.
Rim of the World comes out May 24th on Netflix.
Kinda feels similar to that little kid who’s actually King Arthur movie. Which unfortunately barely made back half its budget (assuming Wikipedia has the right number).

This looks at least a little better, so maybe it won’t be a dumpster fire at the box office…
A stick shift.
Heh.
I’m also wondering if having the asian female as the designated driver of the group was intentional, or purely a coincidence.
