Description
Kirsten Storms (TV's SEVENTH HEAVEN, ANY DAY NOW) stars as the irrepressible Zenon, living on a space station in the year 2049. Her outrageous antics are just what you'd expect from most 13-year-olds, but this one gets "grounded" for sleuthing in a restricted area of the spacecraft. Sent to Earth to cool her jets, Zenon is determined to return home to warn her family and best friend Raven-Symone (DR. DOOLITTLE, TV's THE COSBY SHOW) of an imminent danger! But our intergalactic do-gooder must overcome a few obstacles ... nobody believes her, the local teenagers confuse her, and Earth's gravity is really getting her down! It's stellar fun for the whole family -- no matter what planet you're from.

The Most Stellar Made For T.V Movie Ever!!! February 3, 2001

8 out of 8 found this review helpful
I'm not a big fan of made for t.v. movies. I don't mind watching them once in a while, but they're not the best thing to waste your time doing. Anyway, I had read the little childrens book to my sister a couple years ago, so I decided I'd watch it when I heard Disney was going to make it. The book was about trouble maker Zenon who lives on a space station in the future being sent to earth to stay with her grand parents. She found it booring until her dog had puppies. I thought the book was so stupid. But Disney wrote a completely different story for the movie. In the movie, Zenon is in 7th grade, not 5th grade like in the book. When she is accidentially in the wrong place at the right time, she witnesses someone loading a virus into her space station that she lives on. When no one believes her, her parents ground her to earth, which is considered a very dangerous place to live because of pollution and earthquakes and such. She has a little trouble fitting in, but she ends up falling in love and discovers everyone in the space station is about to die because of the virus. Now she dosen't have much time to get back into space and save the day. I reccomend if you haven't seen it, that you go to your local video store and rent it, or maybe wait and see if the price drops. I guarantee you'll like it. Disney recently made a sequal called "Zenon: The Zequel." The first one was better though!
Out of this world! September 29, 2000

A kids' movie adults will actually enjoy! It explores newworlds (literally) and gives the audience lots of visual treats:special effects, wild outfits, and lots of action. Zenon is a smart,capable teenage girl who's a bit out of the ordinary--she lives on aspace station in the mid-21st century. Other than that, she'sperfectly normal--in fact, she's recently gone head over heels for apopular music group. Zenon has a knack for getting into trouble,though, and when she pushes the limits just a little too far, herparents decide it best to send their daughter back to Earth (theultimate punishment) to stay with Zenon's aunt. Once there, Zenondiscovers just HOW different she is from the other kids--living up inspace is nothing like living in your typical American city--and shehas a few embarrassing moments, which are not unlike moments Earthkids experience when they transfer to a new country or culture. Thegreat thing about this movie is that it's never boring. Sometimespredictable, yes. Boring, no. Zenon is always involved in some kindof action-packed escapade. She's part detective, part crime fighter,part Superhero (almost). To put it simply, this movie is"stellar"!
Cute after school movie June 26, 2003

This made for TV movie has all the elements that make up the after school gender. It is good clean fun with all the elements needed to hold your attention to the end. There is a Zequel but it would have made a good program and I think this was meant to be the pilot. The costuming is imaginary with a futuristic and juvenile look. Carrying this look to a different environment (Earth) is a classic fish out of water scenario. Some may find the secondary story about a rock star (Protazoa) an added plus. Zenon born and raised on a space station has stumbled upon an evil plot to destroy the station. Of course the plot sounds far fetched and the perpetrators appear beyond reproach, to her parents among others. She does have a friend and possibly proof but before she can convince anyone of the plot is shipped to earth for her own good. Will the plot succeed? Is Zenon really safe? And will she stay put or encourage others into radical action?

I love Disney Channel Original Movies! They are good movies the whole family will enjoy. This one is about Zenon. She lives on a space station in the year 2049. She is always getting in trouble. When she catches the owner of the ship loading a virus onto it, she is blamed for lying and her parents ground her to earth! She dosen't fit in, but falls in love and makes an enimy. When on earth, she discovers how to stop the virus from destroying her family, friends, and home! The only problem is, she's 13 and has to get to space! This movie teaches kids to take chances. Rent it today!
