Maidgethma Wonderfully offbeat film!
Cubussoli Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!
Titreenp SERIOUSLY. This is what the crap Hollywood still puts out?
Peereddi I was totally surprised at how great this film.You could feel your paranoia rise as the film went on and as you gradually learned the details of the real situation.
llifrak Horrible acting (what was Julie Haggerty doing?) and bad special effects ruin a good lesson to be learned by kids. I know this is not for adults, but watch the Secret of Roan Inish, a kids movie that isn't stupid! It can be done.
dodih I just bought this movie. I found it very entertaining. The scenery was just incredible. The entire cast of Mel was excellently scripted and the story line was really unique. I enjoyed this movie tremendously. It was great to see Greg's two oldest children, Vanessa and Jason in the movie with their real life Dad. I will watch this movie over and over, it is truly timeless and recommend it highly to anyone who loves outdoor adventure movies, with no violence. A1+ movie. I give it the highest rating.
dheyo Would you believe? A kind of giant turtle that can fly ( and without wings!). Not only the story is full with clichés, the acting is awful (I saw it dubbed in french which is worse)but even my son (13) found the FX ridiculous. I can't believe this was done in '99. Looks worse that an old japanese monster movie to me...
Lsparks This film is a wonderful film and should be out at theaters,because some of the films put out in todays world are not made for children. This is also a great film for adult viewing. The story has a family closeness that is absent in a lot of family's.
