ThiefHott Too much of everything
Gutsycurene Fanciful, disturbing, and wildly original, it announces the arrival of a fresh, bold voice in American cinema.
Orla Zuniga It is interesting even when nothing much happens, which is for most of its 3-hour running time. Read full review
Roxie The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;
TiggerRoo I didn't like this movie I am not going to rant and rave, but just lets say I read the book and there is nothing in this movie that in the book at least nothing I can remember reading..... if you want a movie that more to the book watch the 70's version it waaaaay better. I think there only thing that is in the book are it about a girl/boy set of twins that are magical and they start out in a group foster home and run away to follow there "feelings' of others like them out there. Oh and there is a bully in the Foster home..... all in all the movie should not have been named escape from witch mountain due to its a completely different story from the book...."To enjoy the rainbow.... you must get through the rain"
vampsf This version of this movie was pretty good. It was a different kind of take on it. As to the comment that one person made about the previous film; it was made in 1975, not the 50's. If you're going to comment on something, know what you're talking about it. The kids' acting could have been a little bit better, but look at how young they are. It was the beginning of most of their careers. Most kids that age don't have the experience to be perfect actors. Cut them some slack. For a TV movie, it was pretty good. The special effects for this were pretty good. The script kept you interested and wanting more. People always seem to be expect movie quality from TV movies, that's just not that realistic. They don't have that kind of budget.
Buck Flinch I really liked this movie! I Haven't seen it in a long time so my memory of it is very vague. I really want to buy this from somewhere! Anyone know where??? My biggest memory is the purple light between the hands.. This is the movie right??? Me and my best friend used to think that we were the twins when we were younger.. Anyway if you know where I can get that movie let me know. I got the original movie today and it wasn't the one that i expected. I really liked the remake (1995 version) better than the 1975 version. Just let me know if you know where i can get that movie!! :) I really liked.. like the person before me posted about how all of the twins are either both boys or both girls.. I think this movie is AMAZING! I really want it! If You haven't seen it see it! And by the way good luck at trying to find it. :-\.
Jackson Booth-Millard I saw the original 1950s Disney film when I was a kid, back then it was good fun, and when its on TV and I decide to watch it still is, and then I saw this TV remake. Basically Zoe Moon (Child's Play 3's Perrey Reeves) sees a mysterious beam of light come from Witch Mountain, two babies are in this light, but they are split apart. A few years later, these babies have grown up, Danny (Erik Von Detten) and Anna (Elisabeth Moss) are in an orphanage together, and it is there they find out they are related. They also rediscover their powers from the Mountain they came from, and Mr. Bolt (Robert Vaughn) is witness to one of these powers, so he decides to give them a new home. Mr. Bolt tries to make them use their powers to his advantage, but they refuse and are chained up until they will do so. Luckily though they are let go, and the knowledgeable Waldo Fudd (Ghost's Vincent Schiavelli) teaches them that they and everyone in their world comes from another, having a twin, but they have all lost the power of the light. So now they head up to Witch Mountain to return to where they belong, and many other twins are going with them, including Luthor (One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest's Brad Dourif) and his rediscovered brother. Also starring Lynne Moody as Lindsay Brown, Lauren Tom as Claudia Ford, Henry Gibson as Ravetch, Sam Horrigan as Xander and Kevin Tighe as Sheriff Bronson. The well known stars of this film don't contribute anything, the special effects are terrible, and you just know all the way through that a TV crew made it, so don't bother with it. Poor!
