Rob W May 11, 2025 Not a great film, but a fun family action adventure option. It is always nice to be able to see a smaller film in the local theater. I would probably give it a 4.5 starts but didn't have that option. Effects were generally good. Dialogue could be a bit too expositional at times. Overall it was a fun film to take the whole family to see.

She was researching the harness of perpetual energy that Nikola Tesla had studied but not succeeded. Miles proceeds with her work in a shed when only his friends Piper and Chuck have access. When he finds drawings that belonged to Tesla, he finishes his prototype and summons Kennedy Blake, who is the daughter of owner of Luxos Catherine Blake, looking for funds to build a generator. But the greedy Catherine steals his invention not with the intention of helping the world, but to build a weapon. Now Miles and his friends wants to destroy the equipment. "The Lightning Code" (2025) is an entertaining and naive adventure with a funny story. The plot has the traditional "good guys" and villains, and a delightful little robot. This film is good entertaining for a raining Saturday afternoon. My vote is six.

See more Ranny L @RT68152916 May 13, 2025 The Lightning Code is a thrilling and heartfelt adventure that blends science, friendship, and courage into a family-friendly sci-fi film that sparks your imagination! With high-stakes action, lovable characters, and a meaningful message about innovation and integrity, this film is a standout in the genre. What I love most about The Lightning Code is how it balances big ideas, like clean energy and corporate corruption, with genuine emotional moments and exciting twists. The film is packed with action and mystery, but it never loses sight of the heart at the center of the story -- a boy trying to honor his mother’s legacy and do the right thing. The story follows teen inventor Miles Fletcher (Andrew Reid), who finally cracks his late mother’s code, an invention based on Nikola Tesla’s dream of limitless energy. When a powerful corporation called Luxos Energy steps in with promises to help, Miles believes he’s found a way to change the world. But Luxos has its own sinister agenda. With the help of his best friend Piper, her hilarious younger brother Jamie, and his loyal robot companion Newt, Miles must outsmart a tech giant and unlock the truth about his invention and himself. Andrew Reid brings charm and conviction to the role of Miles, making him both relatable and inspiring. Piper is a standout character too, fierce, loyal, and smart. The chemistry among the young cast is fun to watch, and Newt the robot adds humor and heart to the team. The visual effects are impressive, especially during the high-voltage scenes involving Miles’ invention. The film feels both futuristic and grounded, thanks to its sleek design and real-world themes. One of my favorite parts of the movie is when Miles and Piper break into Luxos to retrieve the missing blueprints; it’s full of suspense, clever thinking, and showcases their strong friendship. The film also excels in building emotional stakes, especially in scenes that connect Miles to his mother’s memory and mission. The Lightning Code carries a powerful message -- young people can lead big changes, especially when guided by integrity, teamwork, and curiosity. It promotes perseverance, critical thinking, and trust in the face of deception. There’s no inappropriate content or bad language, making it a great pick for families. I give The Lightning Code 4.5 out of 5 stars and recommend it for ages 8 to 18, plus adults who enjoy fast-paced family films with a message. It opens in select theaters on May 9, 2025. It’s a jolt of fun you won’t want to miss! By Ashleigh C., KIDS FIRST! See more Larry L @Bubba63 May 10, 2025 This film surprised me.
