Okay, there's a kid named Ben, who had a dream he's flying over this weird landscape that turns out to look kind of like a weird circuit board or something. He draws it- or at least a small part of it- the best he can from memory, when he wakes up. He shows the drawing to his friend Wolfgang, who builds a circuit board, which he attaches to his computer, to figure out what it does. This, of course, is in like 1985, and it's an old computer even then, I think, so it's not very powerful. But whatever, it produces a bubble, and they can alter its dimensions, and enter coordinates to move it around, and stuff. Later, they make a larger bubble, and discover that within it, there's no inertia. So they can use it to travel really fast. The kids, along with another boy named Darren, build a little ship out of some junk, including a tilt-a-whirl seat.

So then, they use the bubble to encase the ship and move it around, and go for a joyride. Then the computer gets taken over by some outside source, which takes them into space. And they meet a couple of weird aliens, who talk mainly by repeating stuff they heard on TV. And later the kids return to Earth. There isn't really anything else I want to say about the plot, I guess.

For most of the film I was kinda thinkin' "meh," so I thought I'd put it on tier 7. But ultimately, though I thought it was a reasonably interesting little story, and had some mildly amusing moments, I mainly thought it was kinda lame. Especially the part with the aliens. Definitely worth having seen once, and I wouldn't blame anyone who rated it much higher, for reasons of, I dunno, nostalgia or whatever. But I'm afraid I just wasn't feelin' it, and I definitely have no desire to ever see it again.
