Badly Badly Badly Written

This seems like a really good idea and I can see it going over quite well in an elevator pitch but it was so badly written I was just frustrated the whole time. You seriously get the impression that these kids lack all and any common sense. It's like they can't even solve basic problems.

At one point, one of the kids is injured and a side character (man from the future) drags him into the fountain of youth. It heals all his injuries and he's perfectly fine after. Yet moments later (seriously, in-universe only a couple minutes have passed) the man from the future is injured and all the kids, including the kid who was healed in the fountain of youth, just stare at him and are like, "oh no.. he's dying". Like, "Yo! Drag him into the fountain! What is wrong with you?!". But somehow this never crosses anyone's mind.

I'm telling you, I would not be surprised if I found out this script was written by a 4th grader and they went into production with the first draft. Whoever wrote this seriously lacks even the slightest morsel of common sense.. god, it was so bad I'm legitimately frustrated right now... I don't think a movie has ever actually made me frustrated for simply existing aside from this one..

This goes down as one of the worst movies I have ever seen. The only reason I'm not rating it a 1 is because it looks like they used a decent camera and some of the VFX are ok... like just barely passable.. but I seriously think that Sharknado looks Oscar-worthy compared to this trainwreck..
