A goofy inventor accidentally shrinks his two and two neighbor teenagers to the size of insects, and then throws them out with the garbage in front of the yard. Our miniature heroes now have to return through the front yard, which from their perspective is a wild jungle that stretches for miles, and small everyday things that we usually don't even notice are now insurmountable obstacles to returning to the security of the home.
As a kid, I loved this movie, so I decided to rewatch it with my family, and I have to say that it didn't age badly at all and that I really enjoyed it. This amusing SF adventure has diverse, quite well-built characters, an interesting story with subtle life lessons, a good pace that does not slow down for a moment, and effects that took your breath away in the eighties, and even today have not lost much of credibility. This is a children's movie in every respect, but I warmly recommend it to all ages, especially for family viewing with kids.
7,5/10
