I watched this while babysitting my neighbor's kids ages 9 and 12. They liked it a lot, I thought it was okay. I got a little bored about half-way but not enough to turn it off, I wanted to see how they would wrap it all up.
It has some neat effects and the storyline is pretty good, every kid wonders what it would be like to do something amazing. The acting was pretty good, not Oscar-worthy but aside from from the Angie Harmon in the locker room scene it was cool. That scene was more than just a little disturbing. We all know that boys live for a peek at a woman but that crossed the border into creepy and really didn't serve any useful purpose at all. Girls feel uncomfortable enough when boys do that, making them feel like it's an acceptable way to behave is just wrong.
Final score. I give it a 5, if they had done the locker room scene better it would have gotten a 7.
