Initially, this reminded me of one of those stories that might have been written by Enid Blyton and made by the Children's Film Foundation. It's starring children and it's, primarily, for children too. After the death of his father in the lunar mines, "Caleb" (Isaiah Russell-Bailey) is to be shipped to the ultimate "Omega" colony were he is to be fostered in luxury.

<em>'Crater'</em> works, I enjoyed it. It's nothing out of this world (...), though what Kyle Patrick Alvarez & Co. managed to create here does the job, in my eyes anyway. A decent plot is held together well by good acting, solid music and serviceable effects. There are naturally some issues, most notably the arguments between the characters are a bit forced/overly dramatic. Still, it comes together nicely and I found the ending to be rather sweet. A shame that Disney quickly removed this from their + service, seemingly through no fault of the film itself - it merits more eyes on it.
