Vampire Scientist and Joker's Brother Travel in Space But hello. Teenager Ben has very realistic dreams about flying over a computer circuit. Ben sketches a diagram and shows the drawing to his child prodigy friend Wolfgang. In their party joins the third participant – punk, but generally good Darren, who protected Ben from bullies. Wolfgang makes a real microchip, and the boys discover that it can create ball-shaped force fields that fly at tremendous speed. Wolfgang turns out to be a real genius, inventing a way to get an unlimited amount of oxygen. Now you can fly into space. But to do this in a “soap bubble” is somehow strange, and the guys of their scrap metal collect a “spaceship”.
As I watched it, I thought, “It’s like ‘Flight of the Naivetor’ that came out a year later, so why isn’t the film so famous?” But closer to the end, I realized that the picture is too cloudless. The film, of course, is good, kind, but the plot would be enough for a short film, for example, an anthology episode. For a full meter lacks sharpness, threat. Not surprisingly, “Researchers” failed at the box office, grossing less than 10 million on a budget of 20.
Finally, The Explorers was the film debut of Ethan Hawke and River Phoenix. The parents of the Fennicks brothers were members of David Berg’s “Children of God” sect, River and Joaquin took their first steps as artists, performing on the streets – so they raised money for the sect. River knew almost nothing about mass culture, it became a constant joke on the set – the boy twisted the names of famous films and brands. Phoenix was originally supposed to play Darren, but the director decided River was good enough to play Wolfgang.
