Awful, awful awful. I want a refund!

Rating: Null/10 (26 June 2001)

I was quite looking forward to this film. I think I had been brainwashed into thinking it was going to be good by all the trailers and hype. But after I saw it, well, disappointment is not the word. The plot is ambiguos and uninvolving. The characters are awful, cheesy and not particualrly likeable. The kid is irritating as hell. He speaks with an English accent, but keeps saying loads of cheesy American things. There features a jet powered Airship. A jet powered airship in the 1930's? The CGI is a bit ropey, which adds to the impausibility of it all. All in all, its rubbish. I left the cinema feeling immensely dissatisfied. And what the hell was Donna Air doing in it? Not impressed.
