Watched it (Spoilers Ahead)

They released it early on the WATCH Disney Channel app today. I thought they were supposed to do that on the 11th.

This was more interesting than Cloud 9 (which I liked, it was just lacking a lot of events and story) and definitely way better and more well-written than Zapped. So you can say this was the best DCOM of 2014.

I loved the sci-fi/action part of the film. I thought DCOM's have been getting really cheap but this one looks like they put a lot of budget/effort into it.

I was a bit skeptical about China Anne McClain starring in this because 1) her age difference with Kelli Berglund 2) I never liked her in A.N.T. Farm so I didn't have any good feelings about her going into this movie.

I don't know what was different about her character here, but I actually felt bad for her when Mae was drifting away from her as her best & only friend. I STILL however think they should have casted someone else. Gabby and Mae looked really odd as best friends.

Not a bad DCOM.

Agreed it was better then zapped which I was surprised at. I watched zapped thinking it looked great with zendaya and it was terrible I watched this thinking it was gonna be stupid and i loved it!
