Fairaher The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.
Brendon Jones It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.
Calum Hutton It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...
Rosie Searle It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.
tasnee Without a doubt one of the worst movies I have ever seen.The acting was cheesy and overdone - half the cast looked like they didn't want to be there. There are many reviews I see that say this is a good film for kids. I have to say that's an insult to children to say that. Most kids are smart and quick enough to catch on when there is a bad film in front of them.The effects were terrible - they didn't even try with any of it.The story plot itself is predictable and boring, I was pretty much force-talked into watching the thing and even then, I walked out within the first 2 minutes.Bottom line: This is the kind of movie that your local rental store would probably put in the back with all the other "this never happened" stuff that they wish would not be tainting the rest of their stock.
ulliwuntsluv This movie is overall very cute and very unique. Yes, i admit the special effects are not anything special...but that just adds to comedy. The acting is actually very good, especially Bug Hall, who is a really good actor. There are many hilarious lines in this film that just cracked me up. It is great movie to watch with your family, and it is very entertaining. I would certainly recommend this for families everywhere. This film even has jokes thrown in for the parents, and teaches a very good lesson, which is portrayed beautifully. This is a truly unique movie that keeps you at the edge of your seat all the way. A++
Peter (foxhusky) Sorry, I don't like this film. They tried to mix something of E.T., Free Willy and other child-animal films, but this time it did not work at all... The acting is very bad. Only Ernest Borgnine is OK as grandpa. The big turtle "Mel" is very, very fake. The face of this animal is copy of E.T.'s head. Did you ever see a turtle fly? Well, this one can... Bad film. Don't buy it.
dheyo Would you believe? A kind of giant turtle that can fly ( and without wings!). Not only the story is full with clichés, the acting is awful (I saw it dubbed in french which is worse)but even my son (13) found the FX ridiculous. I can't believe this was done in '99. Looks worse that an old japanese monster movie to me...
