Alien at the Movies

It's "Never Say Never" meets "Hannah Montana" meets "Echo" when an 80's cartoon show becomes a live action movie. It is the inspirational story of Jerrica Benton and her meteoric rock star rise to fame as the overnight internet sensation known only as Jem. Along with her sisters, the journey begins with Starlight Enterprises. Jerrica also must solve the mystery of the little robot Synergy left to her by her late father. Fans of the original cartoon series may be disappointed as this parallel universal version alters the canon in order to attract a new generation of Jem fans. Look for some surprise cameos. The importance of family and you can be whoever you want to be are at the heart of this wholesome family film. Don't get up too soon as the credits begin to roll or may miss the hint to a possible sequel.

Alien gives it 3 "never fear the unknown" stars out of 4.
