What to Know

Critics Consensus

Rim of the World is too bland to live up to the 80s teen adventures it references, and too full of clichés to be able to set itself apart from them.

Koi P Action and suspense. My heart breaks for the main characters. Their friendship and bonding with each other and acceptance of their unique personas and situations is worth watching. A few inappropriate jokes (especially for young people), but overall a funny, suspensful and heartwarming movie. The alien is scary. Rated 3.5/5 Stars • Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/16/24 Full Review Krister S I did not bother watch the entire film. The first 10 minutes are already boring, full of dry humor and nonsense dialogues, and a total script disaster. The film shifting to a yellow tint was an eyesore. Rated 1/5 Stars • Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/17/24 Full Review Gary D If you are into 13 year olds, swearing and making tons of sexual references, this movie is for you. Rated 1/5 Stars • Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/06/24 Full Review keia Personally, I adored this movie and don't understand why other people didn't. It was really good and brought me joy after I finished Love and Monsters. must watch!!!! +_+ Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/25/23 Full Review letaiser also der Anfang bis zu dem Aufprall oder besser gesagt alles im Camp war recht gut aber danach ging der Film ein wenig den Bach runter ,und wenn man den Film mit seiner Familie gucken will kann ich davon nur abraten da der sehr krasse sprache hatdie Story an sich ist nicht schlecht aber auch wie jede andere Alien Story mit dem Unterschied das Kinder die Welt retten das Ende als Alex wieder aufwachte war bishen Corny und kein gutes Acting die Jokes hingegen waren alle gut Rated 3/5 Stars • Rated 3 out of 5 stars 08/07/23 Full Review courtney s Not for kids, not entertaining, and overall a terrible movie. Couldn't even finish it. Rated 0.5/5 Stars • Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 08/08/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating

Rim of the World | Rotten Tomatoes (1) Perri Nemiroff Perri Nemiroff (YouTube) For those with a soft spot for coming-of-age adventures, Rim of the World is just passable, but it's riddled with logic leaps, tonal inconsistencies and out of touch humor. Rated: 2.5/5 May 30, 2019 Full Review Rim of the World | Rotten Tomatoes (2) Jordan Hoffman TV Guide The clockwork storyline is brazen in its adherence to formula, as if a Learning Annex seminar somehow came to life. May 24, 2019 Full Review Rim of the World | Rotten Tomatoes (3) Nick Allen RogerEbert.com Its greatest value is probably in how it could educate budding movie-lovers on cheesy and predictable storytelling, but even that seems like a lesson Rim of the World cynically teaches at an elementary level. Rated: 1/4 May 24, 2019 Full Review Rim of the World | Rotten Tomatoes (4) Collier Jennings But Why Tho? A Geek Community A funny, character-driven film and a throwback to the sci-fi films that helped shape pop culture. Rated: 10 Jun 25, 2021 Full Review Rim of the World | Rotten Tomatoes (5) Olly Richards NME (New Musical Express) McG's biggest project in a while lacks the most important thing about the 80s films it tries to emulate - the sense of opening up a secret part of the world. Rated: 2/5 Apr 29, 2021 Full Review Rim of the World | Rotten Tomatoes (6) Luke Whiston TheShiznit.co.uk Films aren't just a collection of sensation-grabbing set-pieces - they have rules to engage with your brain, and viewers need someone to connect with. Rated: B- Jan 8, 2020 Full Review Read all reviews
