Even at 98 minutes, the movie appears too long and boring.....Besides, the whole idea of saving the earth isn't compelling enough to watch a movie any more.....when we do get to know this, all the suspense and loud, annoying music is a big let down..... ... Full Review

The 5.1 DTS-HD Master Audio track compliments the film's chase structure perfectly.....Race to Witch Mountain is a mindless film of marginal quality given an equally marginal Blu-ray Disc treatment.....By declaring Race to Witch Mountain is Bruckheimer for kids you should correctly assume there are some great D-BOX moments in this film.....To give you an idea of how unnecessary these scenes and extensions are, I had forgotten them by the time the "play all" function wrapped up.....If anything the audio mix ...

Dwayne Johnson always amuses me, no matter what his role.....What may be most disconcerting for the Witch Mountain fans is the shifting of Witch Mountain from a place of ultimate refuge to one of antagonism.....In the original two films salvation was found at Witch Mountain in the first.... ...

It's not a horrible movie.....It just isn't that good.....Race to Witch Mountain is tough to dislike.....it's not going to be too exciting for you.....While Johnson isn't the main problem, this "reimagining" of the 1975 kid-aliens-on-the-run movie, Escape to Witch Mountain , is pretty mediocre..... ...

Pure escapism with a strong fantasy element, Race to Witch Mountain boasts some great action sequences....Such a beast is Race to Witch Mountain , a more or less direct remake of 1975's Escape to Witch Mountain .....This is not a thoughtful or deep film by any stretch....The film does sport some good to excellent special effects, certainly head and shoulders above the 1975 iteration.....CGI and other special effects elements look good to spectacular..... ...

This is a perfect family film....There are some funny moments during the UFO space Expo at Planet Hollywood, when the fans can be excused for thinking....the story is nicely put together with touches of humour, action pieces and special effects to bring it into the 21st century..... ... Full Review

The child actors (AnnaSophia Robb and Alexander Ludwig) are charming and armed with enthusiasm.....Surprisingly, climbing this Mountain is no great shakes given the thinly veiled script, lackluster special effects, cliched situational dilemma....Although occasionally snappy in its impishness Race to Witch Mountain stalls convincingly and becomes tediously routine as the wooden-paced action unfolds..... ...

RACE TO WITCH MOUNTAIN is an entertaining B movie.....This kids' adventure from Disney is amiable with nice performances.....There are some funny moments, some fast driving, some over-the-top action and even a bit of tension..... ... Full Review

This decent family adventure movie, directed by Andy Fickman, harks back to the Witch Mountain films of the 1970s....none of the special effects are going to frighten the horses.....his undoubted screen presence adds to a solid tale well told..... ... Full Review
