    An adequate telling of the kids fantasy sci-fi adventure. The direction could've been more interesting. CGI effects tainted some of the scenes. The music was good. I think the flat camera direction and editing could've been more dynamic to make the story more exciting.

    I didn't even know this movie existed. Just borrowed it from the library on a whim. This was good. I mean the effects kinda date it a little (and it's only 5 years old for pete's sake!) but the story was great, the cast good. Is it weird that I kinda have a crush on Gregory Smith...( read more)? I wanted a boy like that next door.....oh, well.
