Becky and I took the kids to see Race To Witch Mountain
, along with my parents, Bill & Mary Kay, at the AMC theaters in Highlands Ranch, CO. The Fandango Save the Last Dance 2 trailer
website at Race To Witch Mountain describes the movie as follows:
“For years, stories have circulated about a secret place in the middle of the Nevada desert, known for unexplained phenomena and strange sightings. It is called Witch Mountain, and when a Las Vegas cab driver (Dwayne Johnson) finds two teens with supernatural powers in his cab, he suddenly finds himself in the middle of an adventure he can’t explain. When they discover that the only chance to save the world lies in unraveling the secrets of Witch Mountain, the race begins, as the government, mobsters and even extraterrestrials try to stop them.”
The Review
Race To Witch Mountain is a remake of the 1970’s film, Escape To Witch Mountain, that starred Eddie Albert of the television show Green Acres fame. I saw the original film as a kid and still remember seeing it at the theater. It’s much better than the first one, since the computer technology and special effects are so advanced now compared to what was available in the 1970’s.
Race to Witch Mountain stars Dwayne Johnson, formerly known as The Rock, kind of like Prince was formerly known as Prince. Dwayne apparently doesn’t want to be known as The Rock anymore, so you need to call him Dwayne. At any rate, he does a great job in this kid’s flick and it’s a very entertaining movie. It’s pretty silly at times, as you might expect from a kid’s film and it’s kind of violent. It’s not a show to take really little kids to or they will probably be scared, but overall everyone enjoyed the movie and thought it was Worth the Trip.
The story is about two alien kids who are trying to save planet Earth from destruction and they need to get back to their spaceship before time runs out. It’s a goofy storyline, but it was fun with some good laughs and plenty of action for the kids. Bianca and Corban liked it the most, which was kind of surprising since they are the youngest.
