This is not the usual movie I watch, but there wasn't anything else on and I hadn't seen it yet, so I watched it out of boredom. It was ok overall. Probably not the blockbuster the studio was hoping it would be, but I suppose it's really great to kids.
To adults like me, it's mediocre....Not too bad, but not great either. Some of the special effects were interesting to look at, but the story isn't strong enough to stand on its own.
I say skip it unless you really, really want to see it.
3 out of 5 for a good idea, but misguided execution.
