Inadvands Boring, over-political, tech fuzed mess

Beystiman It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.

Tayyab Torres Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

Kamila Bell This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

FTo1 OK first off, it wasn't totally awful. It was rather foolish. The production design was, well, nonexistent. The art direction was dreadful. That being said, there are some somewhat good performances from the actors. I mean a mediocre actor can even pull off something worthwhile with a fabulous script. By the same token, not even the most accomplished actor can do much with a terrible script.The premise was old. The script was really thin. The dialogue was silly. There was no character development. The direction was disjointed. I am pretty sure this was a TV pilot, especially with this choice of cast. Some of the rather cliché scenes support this notion as well, like the closing scene. Please! Every single TV pilot since the 70s has had a similar scene.It's not a complete waste of time...no. I would recommend DVRing it and FF through most of it.

stefan1429 this is fun to watch if you like adventure movies like "The librarian" and "Indiana Jones", the acting is terrible but it is entertaining nonetheless.I recommend watching "The librarian" instead but if there is nothing else to watch on your play list go ahead and give it a go.like i said before, the acting is terrible and the writing poor. The choice of weapons by the villains is also questionable, Crossbows? and why does Interpol have a terrible German accent? The children are written extremely poor and snobby. On to another review Stefan

joeywyss Well you can't blame the failure of this film to take off on the cast, because they were a capable and experienced cast, even the younger actors. However, they are given absolutely nothing to sink their teeth into. Everything about the flick is just watered down and meandering. If this had been a Disney or Hub flick it would have worked, or even if upgraded to a full blown fantasy flick, it would have worked, but it feels completely like this is a first draft and not a full fleshed film. The script is thin with stick figure characters, clotted with toss off explanations to move the story and beyond cliché plot points (the Asian assassin was almost painful to watch). Everything it had going for it is wasted.Complete and total lack of backstory. It would have been great to know how Tripp's techie skills and Pax's fighting skills had previously reared their heads, it was screaming for some actual examples of the fairytale items in modern times, and someone with a much cleverer wit to punch up the one liners. It seems like the money ran out somewhere, but there was no going back to get a good finished product. The cast did what they could with what they had.

rannynm From the title, it's hard to predict what this movie is all about. Based on the title, I had an open mind. I have only one thing to say, I was pleasantly surprised! This is a great and thrilling movie for everyone. I absolutely love how many things are going on in this film. There is comedy, romance, action, adventure, thrilling scenes, a great and engaging story line and, of course, a puzzle to solve. The adventure begins when three people are looking for some artifacts to build a legendary item. When one turns on the others, all goes wrong. The two kids of the couple who are searching for this item and their friend go on an epic adventure to save the world and their parents. If you want to find out if the parents are OK and if they were successful in their quest, you have to watch the film. This film brings so many perks. It has great actors and excellent direction. The camera-work is totally impressive. There are so many actions - climbing and jumping and even some scary stuff. But, the picture is very clear and the storyline easy to follow. I have to say that my favorite scene is when the older brother discovers his little brother has skipped school and is very mad at him. I can greatly appreciate this scene. It has brotherly love or, as I call it "bromance." It's extremely funny and will hit home with many viewers. I recommend this movie to ages 8 to 18 because it is very intense film. I give it 5 out of t stars and wouldn't be surprised if they eventually turn this movie into a series. I know I will be looking out for that. Reviewed by KIDS FIRST! Film Critic Gerry O.
