Explorers. Easily one of the best science-fiction films from the 80's. Unfortunately, most who love the film are quick to point out its flawed third act. Once the boys meet the aliens at the end the film simply falls apart. The alien children, mostly Wak, are completely over the top and ruin the experience.

White Water Summer was a solid piece of 80's escapist fun. However, it was painfully undercut by the insertion of cuts scenes and narration by Sean Astin that frame the events of the film as a flashback. The sole intention of this edit was to remove these cuts scenes and narration and to allow the film to play out in a linear fashion without the interruption of these intrusive moments.
