Customer Reviews

Only the names have been preserved, if that, in this action-packed chase movie.

Well, it is Disney, and it is Blu-Ray, and you spend 10 minutes before the movie letting Disney tell you this is Disney and it's Blu-Ray. I was getting ready for one of those “namby-pamby cleans up the planet” or some other politically correct movies where the politically correct overtakes the enjoyment of the movie. However, I was pleasantly surprised to find out that even though it was an anti-war or anti- take-over your world movie, they did not let the premise get in the way of the action-packed and the one-liners that make movies. Our world is being invaded. The interlopers, which we all know are strange-looking beings that do not have Earth's best interest in mind, take on the outward appearance of two siblings, Sara and Seth (AnnaSophia Robb and Alexander Ludwig). Could it be that they are just a couple of kids? Here is where the Disney premise takes over: kids can be things that parents cannot understand. Kids have insight that adults do not. Overlooking this annoying premise, the aliens recruit a local cab driver (Dwayne Johnson) with a colorful background to help them accomplish their mission. The cab driver hires a local UFOlogist, Dr. Alex Friedman (Carla Gugino), to help him accomplish his mission. What is a good chase movie if you do not have bad guys like misinforms CIA and evil alien military? Once again, we have the Disney “you can't trust authorities to make decisions syndrome.” Yet with plenty of action, we can overlook this little faux pas. So, get out your popcorn, let your imagination go wild, look at the wonderful colors, and laugh with us as the aliens teach the cab driver lessons in life.
