5/10
Maybe not the best, but fun!

Worth watching at least once, yes of course! The movie began well, with strong character representation between the 2 brothers. I would have liked to see more bonding between the younger brother and the spacecraft, something like 'Flight of the Navigator', to which I could not help mentally back dropping. Certainly they could've, because the ship had already affected the boy in many ways. Most of the other characters were a bit lame, if I compare with others of similar genre.

After the first half, the movie was cheesy and predictable. The way they played out the aliens part was disappointing, using Godzilla monster types. The way the elder brother had to win over his ladylove was a letdown. There were no morals or lessons to be learned here. With the ending, I got the feeling everything was so hastily put together - almost abrupt, although it did leave the way open for a sequel.

However, it was fun and did keep me interested and made me laugh on occasion, so I'd give it a '5'.
