This was one of those films you find by chance and watch out of pure boredom. Most films of this description end out being absolute crap but this film had some kind of effect on me. I have no idea what it is but it keeps you on the edge of your seat and the sci-fi stuff is pretty imaginative which makes it freaky, cooky and somewhat scary in parts. I bloody well enjoyed this film and I can't seem to get it out of my head. Watch it and you'll agree.

Hey everyone. I found this movie by accident while fliping the channels one day. If you are into Roswell and Sci-Fi, you'll enjoy "Doom Runners". Within the movie is awesome voice overs as if your listening to someone read their journal. The key to the movie is the youth trying to find New Eden. Its an adventure that will take you for a ride. I'm sure that if you buy this movie, you'll watch it over and over again.

I originally saw this movie on Nickelodeon, and liked it a lot. Then, two or three years later, they played it again, and I taped it. I think this a wonderfully crafted film, with suspense, sci-fi, drama, and romance, all blended in. What more do you want? The premise is basically that, after their grandfather dies, Jada and Adam have to find their way to New Eden, the only safe place left in their polluted, poisonous, post-apocoliptic world. They, with the aide of their friends, Vike, Deke, and Lizzy, have to do this while eluding Dr. Kayo and his evil power to wipe minds. I recommend this movie to everyone--buy it!

I found this movie rather juvenile. Firstly, it`s about a 16 year old girl in a sci-fi take off on Wizard of Oz.(Off to see the wizard in the land of New Eden complete with dog and companions in a series of quirky encounters.) The evil witch in this instance is a man who is a "mind sucker". It`s full of today`s jargon: have a nice day, big time and hanging out to state a few, although it takes place far into the future. There`s not a lot of suspense because you know they will find New Eden.

I can promose that out of all of the SiFi movies you will ever see you will never see one like this with its originality geting the four stars. The acting is good, not the best that I'v seen but it is worthy. The set is intriguing, even though it changes frequently, from a dirty town over crowded with people, to a desert landscape, to a rain forest shore. The charicters are hard to believe sometimes, mainly a girl who can make fire spout from her fingers. But all in all this is a pretty good film.

This movie is so cool! Just the idea is so strange you can`t help but like it. To think teens could pave the way for others to follow. I think anyone would like this movie.If you like cool movies you should see this.
