Great special FX but only an average movie

Rating: 7/10 (1 July 2005)

I have to say that the first half of the movie had me grinning from ear to ear with the stunts and special effects!! The kids were gripping my arms with ever increasing intensity throughout the film. The sound mix is incredible and the acting of the cast is generally OK, without any stand-out performances, in my humble opinion! The problem I had with the movie is that there are some gigantic plot- holes!! And also I had the impression that there were large chunks of time missing from the movie, without any explanation. It's definitely worth seeing, especially on the big screen, just don't expect anything intellectually challenging.
