A Disney Channel type adventure only with the budget of a Disney+ movie.

Impressively it's more emotional than I expected although I never really felt a connection with any of the leads.

Mckenna Grace, who is the most experienced actress in the cast, clearly carries the acting weight, but her co-stars don't let her do it all alone.

Crater is designed for younger viewers and I'm talking a bout kids and pre-teens, so it might work better with them.

In the end, it's not a sci-fi flop, but it can't help but feel like catalog filler either.

Carry low expectations.… Expand

huh, Why did I watch this? Why did I watch this?! Ok, this movie is boring, nonsensical and just plain generic.
The story is not bad, it's just let down by the different scenes, the chowdery dialogue, and a lot of stupid logic throughout thehuh, Why did I watch this? Why did I watch this?! Ok, this movie is boring, nonsensical and just plain generic.
The story is not bad, it's just let down by the different scenes, the chowdery dialogue, and a lot of stupid logic throughout the plot. Are you telling me that a bunch of kids are able to steal a million-dollar rover without any of the adults or Security noticing?

Yeah, No.

Let me guess the writers wanted to make a "deep" story that Children would enjoy. They probably asked themselves this question "What do Children enjoy? And then answered;
Oh I know, How about space and being on the moon where they have nonsensical fun for no reason, yes that's what children like watching"

No, you are wrong, It's movies like these that make me question why Disney puts money into garbage Disney Channel Quality Like films on a streaming service that adults pay for, because if this isn't for children (Which it's not) then who is it for?

The only thing that holds up is I guess the CGI, it's not bad, VFX artists did a reasonable job with what they were given.

Let me just reiterate, this film is boring, near the last Quarter of the film, I just lost interest, and I started looking at memes on my phone, and after I looked back the film was done. So yeah, instead of maybe getting a Sequel to, oh I don't know, the many different animations Disney has made over decades, we got this. Hell, I would even Enjoy a complete remake of the original animations in 3D CGI with the stencil watercolour rendering being used for the movie Wish. Disney, Take my Idea, just do it, all I want are good animated movies, is that so much to ask?

Right the rating, it's a 5/10, VFX and CGI do not help the film in any way, I judge the film based on how captivating and well-done the dialogue, scenes, characters(the Asian kid is annoying), story and plot are delivered. I will say though the pacing is good, it felt like a 2-hour movie, the only thing is that it was not interesting, so the film actually needed to be chopped down a little.

Don't put yourself through torture, do not consume, watch something else, please.

Oh and a Pro tip Disney, remember when I said make animations, yeah get these kids to voice act instead, and get your VFX artists to make a beautiful animation based on the ideas your directors and writers have, not everything has to be live action, realistic 4k Ultra HD definition.

Decent kid's movie that at least tries to delve more into mature themes like grief, the effects of capitalism, and the value of memories. It gets corny at times, but not much to make you go away. As you would expect, there are some 'StrangerDecent kid's movie that at least tries to delve more into mature themes like grief, the effects of capitalism, and the value of memories. It gets corny at times, but not much to make you go away. As you would expect, there are some 'Stranger Things' vibes around the kid's group; looks like every teen movie it's aiming for that now. The good thing is that only one of the boys is annoying; the rest are ok. All in all, 'Crater' delivers a not-that-bad adolescent sci-fi tale that surely will inspire some kids to explore the genre as they grow up.… Expand

I think the structure in general doesn't give any rhythm to the movie, and the action scenes feels very forced. The logic of the events is accommodating, to say the least. The dialogues were very uneven and overexposed a lot of things. Visually the movie is really good. The acting wasn't always good with the kids. The most interesting part comes around the end. But the author didn't exploited the 75 years of difference from the travel to another planet. Well, they did it with some audio extracts which for a movie, is kind of a sin. I give it 52%. There is still some visuals quality to the movie but the story didn't transmit much emotions, because structure and logic were all over the place.… Expand

Aliás, a Disney aqui está muito longe dos seus momentos no quesito técnico. O desenvolvimento dos personagens está bem rápido e superficial também, mas as corrigidas dos roteiros vão melhorando o filmes aos poucos.
O que eu mais gostei do filme é que as imagens são feitas para nós pensarmos as possibilidades da gravidade e contemplarmos o espaço sem esquecer de nossa condição de terráqueos. Aproveitando, uma personagen feminina da Terra se junta aos quatro amigos na missão de sair de redoma espacial onde viviam e ir até uma região que tenha uma cratera, a ermo, antes que o grupo se desfaçar e toma cada um seus destino.
Não irei me ater aos detalhes aqui da motivação de cada um e da inserção inicial da menina no grupo de mais 4 meninos, mas sim em como aqueles 5 tornam o filme bem especial, há uma genuína amizade entre eles que lembra o "Conta comigo", valorizando a presença de um e outro, a busca pela simplicidade e reciprocidade na amizade, se permitindo até mesmo cenas de contemplação.
Mesmo que o roteiro tenha facilitado a fuga dos jovens, ficou até boa a proposta de focar na relação mais do que no perigo externo. É internamente ao microcosmo criado que é interessante.
É uma pena que o excesso de flashbacs, os efeitos limitados, e as soluções fáceis jogam contra o ritmo da história, porém, mais do que um filme de ação besta, temos quase um "coming out" da juventude, mas marcada por vários traumas e sentimentos maduros, mais uma vez o elenco teen consegue segurar o interessado em determinada obra.
Com alguns clichês e sem perigo real nenhum, o filme se dedica a criar um clímax de drama pelo futuro da humanidade. O ponto alto é que os chefes dos empreendimentos não estão robotizados, no piloto automático. Tudo está milimetricamente humano. É até assustador ver que muitas vezes houve uma espécie de verossimilhança (a "bricadeira no ar usando oxigênio, eles correndo lentamente, a destruição de uma base), tudo serve para demonstrar seus sentimentos no espaço, e perceber que são adolescentes comuns, com condições não tão vantajosas assim da estrutura familiar, mas que vão conseguindo lidar de forma não bestializada com as situações, o que por si só já garante um excelente sessão.… Expand
