Totally Shocked

by Superjay

I had no intentions to see this movie. From the previews it looked like another failed attempt by the Mouse to remake a classic and the previews did not help their plight. But my nephew and niece desperately wanted to see it so I took them to a matinee.

OMG! Completely surprised!! It is a definite must see for families. There's the right amount of action, drama, and comedy to make kids laugh and adults smile at how their children love a movie that wont warp their tiny little brains. Very reminiscent of the more whole some (i.e cat from outer space) action films that Disney used to do before he passed. Some people may poo poo this because of one reason or another, but so what ! it's good family fun and I will be adding it to my DVD collection when it comes out. There are a couple of minor complaints from me as far as the movie not tying up some loose ends at the end (redundant). But if your taking your kids they wont notice. Good Job Mouse I give you an A- for Race to Witch Mountain.

MUST SEE

by usagrl

I highly highly highly recommend the movie for everyone (well maybe not anyone under 3/4 YOA) It had tons of excitement, laughter and all around a great story line. I have to admit I had two reasons for wanting to see the movie. I remember seeing Escape to Witch Mountain as a kid and really liking it. Then top it off the "The Rock" Dwayne Johnson was in it and I think him being in films is always a great addition. :) I will not ruin the movie by telling you the whole story, but just by telling you that if you like ET, or Escape to Witch Mountain as a kid, Transformers now, or any action packed Movie or even any Disney Movie you will love this.

race to witch mountain

by Allycat33

This was a wonderful movie. I originally went to see it because my son wanted to watch it. I havent heard iof it and just thought that it was another one of those "kid" movies that I really wouldn't be interested in. I was pleasently surprised to find that this was a great movie for the whole family. Full of advanture and creative story line that will keep you interested from begienning to end.

Family Movie

by SneakySF

It has an old school family thing going on. I'd classify it as a lite hearted kid thriller adventure movie, a little bit of everything to keep the whole family interested. A Go for the family and a So-So for everyone else.

Nicely done

by

I waited for this movie to come out because I was an avid fan of the original Disney capers of Tony and Tia Malone. I wasn't disappointed in this movie at all. I wish there had been bigger parts for Kim Richards and Ike Eisenman. But they weren't the theme of this movie. I was just glad to see them again after so long. I enjoyed the humor and action. Overall a must see for families and singles who enjoy a good clean movie!!

Loved RTWM

by kmhnova

I read the book that this movie was based on as a child, "Escape to Witch Mountain", and saw the original made for TV Disney movie -- the plot and the story captivated me. I absolutely loved the update, not just because of the movie-technology and special effects of today (so many years after the original), but also because despite the changes to the plot, the simple feeling of good triumphing over evil in the context of good family sci-fi fun and very likeable characters (and a few you love to not like!) was accomplished very well in this movie. Yay Disney! Thanks for another really good feature!

One of Disney's best

by Nicoco2

Action from beginning to end. Probably Disney's best remake. Nice story line and a great movie for all ages. Great on big screen, seems like it would loose appeal if you wait for the video.

Race to Witch Mountain

by ocdave67

Found this movie to be average at best. I found some scenes in the movie to be quite childish. A couple of good car chases and the classic inept bad guys. This is a good rental movie and less than spectacular theater show. If you miss this flick you will not be missing much.

RACE! To Witch Mountain!

by Moviemom557

It was exciting! A Thrilling adventure! We will definately go see it again! You absolutely HAVE to see this movie on the BIG Screen! Race to Witch mountain grabs you and keeps you on the edge of your seat thru the whole movie!
I think it was great that they used the two kids from the previous Witch Mountain movies in this one too....see if you can recognize them!!
We made sure to watch the other two movies before this one, but you dont really have to. They start the movie at a place where you can understand and enjoy it The kids and 'Rock' did a fantastic job!
Don't miss this!

A totally new look

by Spidey33

This movie was phenominal. I loved every minute of it. From poking fun of convention buffs to the exciting chase. All the way to the confrontation at Witch Mountain. This movie was good.

Race to Witch Mountain

by sonyamarie3

Great movie! My 10 and 13 year-old son and daughter both gave it a perferct score and I enjoyed it just as much. The Rock never disappoints, he's a great tough guy, yet funny and sometimes sensitive. Carla Gugino was a hoot as his romantic interest/ partner and the action was non-stop throughout the movie. If you're looking for a good entertaining movie that you don't have to analyze to understand, this is it. The bad guys are bad, the good guys are good and a few characters reach deep and surprise you. If on the other hand you're looking for something with great literary significance and meaning, don't bother!
