Tedfoldol everything you have heard about this movie is true.
BeSummers Funny, strange, confrontational and subversive, this is one of the most interesting experiences you'll have at the cinema this year.
Invaderbank The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.
Scarlet The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
Prismark10 Race to Witch Mountain is a remake that relies much on Dwayne Johnson and Cara Gugino's charm. It is an exciting if bland Disney adventure with too many cardboard characterizations.Johnson is Jack Bruno, a Las Vegas cab driver with a shady past. Some mob figures are after him and he knows how to drive fast.When two kids suddenly appear in the back of his cab wanting Jack to drive them somewhere and offering him a lot of money to do it. The boy and girl are in fact aliens with special abilities, before long they are pursued by government agents and an intergalactic cyborg.Jack teams up with Dr Friedman (Gugino) and has to get the two aliens to Witch Mountain and onto their stranded spacecraft while evading their pursuers.The film is thrilling enough to keep the kids entertained but it is also slightly anodyne. Film director Garry Marshall makes a cameo appearance as an alien conspiracy theorist.
jasonpachar Race To Witch Mountain meets boxing. With several movies baring the title Witch Mountain and Return to Witch Mountain, this movie completes the Witch Mountain Trilogy. I have not seen the first two in a long time, but this one, I liked. I don't know if it was the special effects or The Rock, it was energetic and jumping off the edge of my seat kind of movie. I loved the special effects. And I also liked how the director incorporated the storyline to the effects. Congratulations to Disney – with the other two movies, this one outranks. With The Rock leading the cast to Annasophia Robb, they both are great. Are they really going to make another one? What will be the storyline? As far as the movie goes, I would give it a standing ovation with 9 ½ stars.
willythebetzel I saw Race to Witch Mountain recently when I saw it show up on TV. I read a brief synopsis for it, and saw the cast, and I decided to give it a shot as it sounded like a good movie. Like most of the other Disney live-action movies, I found Race to Witch Mountain to be rather entertaining and fun. Not having seen the original 1975 film, I went into the movie with an open mind. When I was done watching it, my first thought that this movie established a new re-imagining of Witch Mountain and I felt that this movie should have a sequel. However, it is more than four years later and a sequel does not appear to be coming, which is a huge disappointment. I really was looking forward to watching more movies surrounding the principal cast and I could easily picture where Disney could have taken the franchise. The soundtrack was pretty good, the cast really seemed to be trying to play their roles well, and while the story is nothing ground-breaking, it was still entertaining enough to fill its 98 minute running time. I appreciate the combined efforts of the cast into making this production an enjoyable experience. Overall, I recommend the film for anyone looking to have fun for 98 minutes.
alwayssmiilinu I think this was a great little SCIENCE FICTION FILM! I really enjoyed. It was cute, funny, action packed, and my 3.5yr old son also loved it! He was glued to the TV! haha! :) I quite liked that it was relatively unique, the acting was quite OK, and I am very judgmental over that usually, and the plot was fun, action packed, and had emotions. I find it much more entertaining than most other 'Alien' related movies! :)If one can open their mind and take the film for exactly what it is meant to be..an entertaining, fun, Aliens on Planet Earth movie, to entertain the mind, then one can enjoy it! For those who are too overly critical and don't like unrealistic plots in movies..this movie isn't for you! For all those with an imagination and open mind, this is a film for you! Looking for a fun film to watch on a Saturday night with the family, I recommend it! :) Enjoy! :)
