Crater
Was only on Disney + for a month before it was removed.,The kids have fun when they go outside, jumping around in the lunar gravity, which apparently they haven't been in for their whole lives in the domes, or in the rover just before.,Addison: All of this stuff really happened, to people who thought it was the most important thing in the entire universe. Earth was everything to them. Now, it's like all anybody cares about is when they get to go to Omega.,Referenced in Friday Night Tights: Hollywood Shuts DOWN, Disney is DUMB, MI:7 REVIEW | Friday Night Tights 258 w/JosiahRises (2023),Miracle Mile

Under license from Universal Music Enterprises,It's the year 2257. A lunar mining colony is extracting helium for fuel to travel to the ultimate destination Omega. Newly orphaned Caleb (Isaiah Russell-Bailey) gets a spaceship ticket, but must leave his friends behind. He with his three best friends decide to steal a rover to go on a road trip to a crater where his father suggests something important. The boys need an exit code and recruits new Earth arrival Addison Weaver (Mckenna Grace).

This script is on the 2015 Black List. There is some work here, but most of Caleb's personal discovery drama is muddied by the tween sci-fi road trip adventure. I would have preferred a treasure hunt like the Goonies. All the world building may be interesting on the page. It didn't translate on the screen. It's still a fun road trip. As for the ending, it is not good action adventure. I was going to give it a fail for the tonal shift and for the bad logic. It's unlikely that they would place an unconscious Caleb on the rocket ship. Ultimately, I am giving it a pass for its poetry.,
