9/10
A+ for kids 6 to 16
6 October 2007
After reading a whole bunch of these reviews, all I wanted was to find out if a)the movie is appropriate for my seven year old boy, and b)is it cheesy (ie. The Last Mimzy). I go to the movies with my son so we can enjoy a good story, laugh a little and lose ourselves in a good story/adventure/fantasy. I've never seen my son get "into" a movie like this one. He gave me the annoying play-by-play of what was going on every five minutes. That showed me that he was really enjoying and following it. I don't understand the critiques of this movie. Predictable? Maybe a little, but so are 95% of the movies out there. But the comments about it having bad acting and cheesy lines just weren't warranted. I was just as engrossed by this movie as my son and was pleasantly surprised that I could enjoy a kids movie as much as I did. I would place it somewhere between being better than Bridge To Tarabithia but just under Lord Of The Rings. If you're tired of Harry Potter (like me) but still want to go see an adventure/fantasy, give this one a shot.
