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.

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. Go to Full Review Jordan Hoffman TV Guide 05/24/2019
The clockwork storyline is brazen in its adherence to formula, as if a Learning Annex seminar somehow came to life. Go to Full Review Nick Allen RogerEbert.com 05/24/2019
1/4
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. Go to Full Review Collier Jennings But Why Tho? A Geek Community 06/25/2021

A funny, character-driven film and a throwback to the sci-fi films that helped shape pop culture. Go to Full Review Olly Richards NME (New Musical Express) 04/29/2021
2/5
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. Go to Full Review Luke Whiston TheShiznit.co.uk 01/08/2020

Mark B Sep 17 Why did Hollywood think this was appropriate? This has got to be one of the worst movies ever because of all of the terrible humor. See more Eric N. @Sweet_Tomato Aug 31 The most annoying oversaturated movie I’ve ever seen. See more thiago s @Thiagostone Jul 15 Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom See more Paul S Jun 2 The poor dialogue and lackluster visuals make this movie a disappointment. Despite its flaws, it was still a really enjoyable movie, and it definitely fits into the 'it's so bad it's good' category of film. See more Maurice L Mar 17 Was good, it was McG best work!It had action,humor,sci-fi and Benjamin Flores Jr! What more do you want! Definitely recommend! See more BRAVE08HERO !
