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.

Paul Magne Haakonsen This is a Walt Disney movie in the very essence of the meaning. As such, this is a movie that is suitable for the entire family. Watching it as an adult with no kids around, then chances are that you will find this movie to be too family-friendly.The story is about a taxi driver in Las Vegas who find two teenagers in the back of his taxi. These teenagers claim to be from outer Space, and as things become turbulent around every corner, taxi driver Jack Bruno starts to think that there might be something to the extraterrestrial claims.There is a lot of action and adventure in "Race to Witch Mountain", but it is done in a manner that allows even a younger audience to watch the movie as well. And the storyline is fast paced and has a good continuous flow to it.The effects in the movie were good, and the visual effects department did a good job in bringing the movie to life on the screen.While this isn't Dwayne Johnson's best movie, it is still fun and entertaining for the family to watch.

Johan Dondokambey The story is just plain lame. This kind of adventure plot where the adult character protects younger characters, let them be aliens, foreigners or other kind of situations, and go through all kinds of things where the movie eventually ends happily with the ones being protected get to safety, is really a plot too often done in the more mature action movies, particularly those of secret agent movies. It even comes complete with the side plot of having government agencies chase after them beside the actual bad guys. Sadly, besides having Dwayne Johnson, this movie doesn't really bring any new stuff to the table. On the adventure side, particularly the alien movie side, which is in itself has become kind of a culture; this movie only repeats all the recipe of previous alien and kid movie. The acting overall is just a standard work, particularly so because this movie has Dwayne Johnson in it. His performance here seems to lose focus on combining his action movie roles and his family movie roles. Carla Gugino also doesn't really make this movie anything more special.

SnoopyStyle Jack Bruno (Dwayne Johnson) is a Las Vegas cabbie who finds two strange siblings (AnnaSophia Robb, Alexander Ludwig) one morning in his car out of nowhere. They are hounded by evil government agents almost immediately. After many alien and government attacks, the trio escapes and enlists the help of UFO expert Dr. Alex Friedman (Carla Gugino).It's a Michael Bay wannabe. It's too dark for a kids movie. There's too much violence. It's edited like 'Armageddon'. The action comes one after another. I'm surprised they don't have blood splattering everywhere. They certainly blow enough stuff up. I'm not sure how many bribes it took to get the PG rating. The problem is that it occupies an area where the adults can't take it seriously, and the kids really shouldn't be watching.
