This one didn't work for me either. Between the ambiguous ending and the kids not paying attention to the consequences of their actions, it rubbed me a very wrong way. I remember very clearly being 12. We had responsibilities, so we knew how not to be complete stupid ass-hats. And that is not a generational thing, either. I know lots of kids today who also have responsibilities and wouldn't go around destroying stuff for kicks and then go ..ooops. So, sorry, this just didn't work for me.
