rhoyng63 I realized how lucky I am by the experiences during the movie. It was definitely worth the pizza, and I am glad I had the opportunity to watch this wonderful movie. The actors were terrific, and I felt they acted as if they were all in real danger. The scenes are just flat out amazing. The scenes in the movie are not predictable at all. I was actually wrong with my guess, and the directors really fooled me. This movie is for any age, and I encourage everyone to take time to watch this with their family or roommates. The kids will love it!!! I hope with a few years there will be a Durango Kids 2 so I can sit down and take the time to watch this movie with my roommates. Whenever I have problems, I just turn to this movie to see how the kids face their adversity. I would recommend this movie to anyone, and also would like to thank Pizza Hut. Thanks!

Travis_Moran Hey, I like the idea of time-travelling back to earlier times. Some of my most favourite movies have been time-travel ones. Like "The Time Machine, Terminator, TimeCOP and such. I've liked reruns of "TimeTunnel" too.It's okay (and actually pretty cool) to have kids doing this stuff, but maybe hype it up a bit. Some parts were a little slow. They could have left out the part with the guy throwing fairy dust around cause it didn't add anything to the movie. The parts on the train were a little kooky, but that sure was a neat train eh. It was really wild having ATVs in the old west.I was about 15 when I first saw this movie and I just happened to see it again recently on Bell. I was surprised I still enjoyed it. And (even more amazing) my girlfriend watched it with me. She usually shies away from kid movies.I think the boys and girls acting in this movie were better than most of the kids who make this type of stuff.There are some other movies like this that were decent also like "Kid in King Arthur's Court and Kid in Aladdin's Palace. So maybe if you find you like this movie you should check those out too.

jamesrbynum I liked this movie because it contained no great message, it was a fun adventure. All the actors did a fine job. This picture showed scenes of Durango, Colorado to Silverton train ride on a narrow gage rail road. This mountain country is some of the prettiest in the entire United States. I lived in this area when I was about the age of the children of the movie, while I didn't have an adventure quite like theirs I did hunt and explore this beautiful country, including some of the mines that do exist at the town of Silverton and surrounding mountains at an elevation of over ten thousand feet. This would be a place for one to go and take their children for an adventure, possibly, even a little magic.

thats_a_lot_of_nuts To put it bluntly, this movie was terrible. There are a vast number of "excuses" that people use to say that it wasn't so bad. It is a kids' movie. It stars young actors. It was filmed on a low budget. Even considering these circumstances, it was a dreadful movie. I've seen movies with a much lower budget and much younger actors, intended for a much younger audience, end up much more entertaining than this.This movie was made with very little passion. It seems that the director knew from the beginning that he was going to make an amateur, generic, cliché film, and didn't try to do anything beyond that. And judging by the surnames of a few of the actors, I get the feeling that he cast his family members in roles; it wouldn't surprise me if he had given them out as birthday presents. In this film so many tired, over-used elements were re-used shamelessly. There are one too many slime/manure/teasing jokes, and the entire plot centers around a bunch of pre-teens with the help of their (surprisingly old-looking) 8th grade big brother, stopping their "evil principal" from changing history. So these kids go back in time to prevent a crime from being committed. This movie had so many chances to be good, but didn't take any of them. It's a great example of extremely lazy directing. (Take the "train scene," for example, each of the extras does exactly the same thing, faces the same direction, and does nothing.) Seriously, a movie has to TRY to be this bad. I actually got it for free on DVD when I bought a pizza. And the DVD didn't even contain subtitles. I feel like the director probably said to his assistant director, "Nah, you can fake that, no one will notice," WAY too many times in this film.Predictable, immature, simple, badly acted, badly written. (And I won't even start about this movie's sad, sad attempt at special effects.) The only positive is that maybe very young children will enjoy it, if they don't get lost in the vague plot. ....Maybe.
