Where was Rim of the World filmed? - The location of the apocalyptic camp and lake
Posted by Ra Moon
Four misfit teenagers in a summer camp are the unlikely heroes to save the world from an alien invasion. This adventure Netflix film features several 80's and 90's movie references.
It feels like a mashup of classics like The Goonies, Independence Day, or Jurassic Park, sharing many ingredients with the hit series Stranger Things.

Directed by McG (The Babysitter, Terminator Salvation), the main cast is led by Jack Gore, Benjamin Flores Jr, Miya Cech, and Alessio Scalzotto.
Rim of the World was filmed in Los Angeles and California. Here are the most relevant shooting locations of this 2019 action-packed movie:
The Rim of the World Adventure Camp was set in the Twin Lakes in Mammoth Lakes. The main building in the campground where the kids escape from an alien is the Tamarack Lodge and Resort.

According to LAist, NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory was recreated in a gymnasium in Pomona.
As the production couldn't film in the JPL's Space Flight Operations Center, the filmmakers used an old government building in the town, the Lanterman Developmental Center.
Also, some forest takes were shot at Cal Poly Pomona college. Further studio work was done in Occidental Studios in Hollywood.

DeleteWhat mall were they at? Ext and Int
DeleteThe mall exterior is Westminster Mall, not sure about the interior. Also, the exterior shot of JPL in ruins (pictured above) is Los Angeles Center Studios on Bixel Street.
ReplyDeleteThey also looked to be at the Universal backlot
ReplyDeleteI know, I was saying the same thing! We were there just last week… but I can’t find it anywhere where I says that one scene where they gave the key to the soldiers
