Light Years Away

This film (yes I'm British) should have been made as a cartoon. The plot holes and 2D characters wouldn't have mattered then. As live action it seems to be trying to be something it's not.

The blooper reel would probably be as entertaining as the finished result. Purile script suitable for the average 7-year old. The actors all seemed very capable.

But there's some danger of picking up some false astronomy.

Special FX nothing to write home about. Again, as a cartoon it could have been spectacular.

If you sit your kids in front of the TV on a Saturday morning, this should fill about 1 1/2 hours.
