a5c7b9f00b A Las Vegas cabbie enlists the help of a UFO expert to protect two siblings with paranormal powers from the clutches of an organization that wants to use the kids for their nefarious plans.
In Las Vegas, the regenerated ex-con Jack Bruno workstaxi driver. During an UFO Convention at Planet Hollywood, the skeptical Jack picks up Dr. Alex Friedman, who will present a scientific lecture in the event. Then he is pressed by two henchmen of his former boss, the criminal Wolff, that wants to talk to him, but Jack does not want to return to the crime life. Jack fights and gets rid of them; out of the blue, he finds two teenagers on the backseat of his cab. They tell that they are siblings, Sara and Seth, and they need to travel to a location outside Las Vegas in the middle of nowhere. Meanwhile the government finds a spacecraft that crashed nearby Las Vegas and is chasing the two aliens; after the investigation of the men of Major Henry Burke, they discover that the two siblings are the aliens. Jack Bruno, Sara and Seth are chased by Henry Burke's team and by the "Syphon", a killer from outer space that has been sent to kill them by the military of their planet that want to invade Earth. Sara and Seth explain that they traveled to Earth to collect scientific data of an experiment and save Earth from invasion, but they need to return immediately to their planet. Jack teams up with Dr. Alex to retrieve their spacecraft in a secret base in the Witch Mountain.
I had seen Escape to Witch Mountain from 1975, and the sequel Return from Witch Mountain, and even the dreadful 1995 TV remake of Escape to…, but it was interesting to see Disney making another more modern version, from director Andy Fickman (She's the Man, The Game Plan). Basically an alien spaceship crashes near Searchlight, Nevada, over one hundred miles from Las Vegas, Henry Burke (Ciarán Hinds) leads a secret Defense Department unit to seize the ship and take the passengers, but none are found. Former criminal Jack Bruno (Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson) has turned his life around and worksa cab driver, one of his passengers on this night is failed scientist Dr. Alex Friedman (Spy Kids' Carla Gugino) who is attending a UFO convention at Planet Hollywood, and Jack no longer wants to accept jobs with the mob. Two teenagers, Sara (Bridge to Terabithia's AnnaSophia Robb) and Seth (Alexander Ludwig), get in the cab are paying him a high fare of $15,000 to head in a particular direction, no given destination, Bruno assumes the government agents following the cab are more mob, he avoids them with his driving skills, and Seth uses his ability to vary his molecular density to allow their escape. The teenagers explain that they are are aliens that look human and have advanced abilities that people on Earth have not discovered yet, including telekinesis, telepathy and varying molecular density, and finding an abandoned house he sees them retrieve a device they will need for their ship, and they are again pursued Burke's agents,wellpowerful armoured alien assassin Siphon (Tom Woodruff, Jr.), but they manage to avoid them and carry on. Bruno takes Sara and Seth to Dr. Alex Friedman, she realises she is what she has been theorising on for some time, she joins the group, the teenagers explain their world is three thousand light years from Earth, despite the idea being unpopular their government plan to invade the planet so that their race can survive, their parents were experimenting to find a way to survive without invading Earth but were arrested before completing, so the teenagers went to Earth to find the successful findings, to save both Earth and their race they must return to their world in their spaceship. Fellow UFOlogist and conspiracy theorist Dr. Donald Harlan (Garry Marshall, director of Pretty Woman) helps telling the group that the spaceship was taken to Witch Mountain, a secret government base in California, they arrive there but are captured and the teenagers are knocked out to be surgically experimented on, and meanwhile the Siphon attacks the soldiers, while Bruno and Friedman get back into the base and save the teenagers. Sara and Seth launch their ship and escape Witch Mountain through the tunnels, the Siphon is finally killed by the high voltage energy from the ship core, once landed the teenagers give Brun and Friedman a tracking device son they always know where to find them, they wish them a tearful farewell and return home with hope they rebuild it somehow, in the end Bruno and Frideman become successful authors with their book about their experience, andthey leave the device activates, this suggests the humanoid alien teenagers may be returning. Also starring Tom Everett ScottMatheson, Chris George MarquettePope, Kim RichardsTina, Ike EisenmannSheriff Antony and Richard 'Cheech' MarinEddie. Johnson isn't the best at acting but proves a good enough being surprised and a hero, Robb and Ludwig putting on British accents and speaking perfect English sentences are likable, the story is simple enough for all the family, and assisted by terrific special effects, a few explosions and cool chase sequences it is moderately exciting, an enjoyable science- fiction adventure fantasy. Good!
Quite disappointing. The special effects were good, and the CGI worked seamlessly, but that should be expected. However, the plot was poor and illogical. Aliens who can travel through wormholes etc. have to come to Earth to work out how to prevent drastic climate change on their own planet? If they don't get back to their home planet with the information, their home planet will invade us? The kids, who are aliens, act like robots. There are few emotions expressed, (perhaps they suffered from Aspergers syndrome). It's a pity because both are capable of fine acting, and these roles let them down badly. The government thugs in suits are so stereotypically bad they are a joke. Could anyone believe they'd treat aliens so poorly? The robot assassin who pursues the alien children throws a lot of CGI fire power about, but isn't really frightening. The rock was good, and he provided humor and suspense. The car chases were time fillers, ongoing and lacking in realism. The alien convention was fun, and the interactions between the Ufologists were well done. It would be fairly safe to take the little kids to watch, but they probably wouldn't follow the story, which is vague. Disney usually does very good work, but sorry, guys. This one bombed. Perhaps it was conceived by a committee. This was potentially a good film, but sadly, it missed the mark.
A calculated bid to turn the Rock into a more family-friendly commodity. That calculation may be transparent, but it pays off: Cracking one-liners and alternating between world-weariness and growing affection for his charges, Johnson is wonderful – much better than his material.
Las Vegas cabbie Jack Bruno (<a href="/name/nm0425005/">Dwayne Johnson</a>) finds himself stuck with two teenaged siblings—Sara (<a href="/name/nm1455681/">AnnaSophia Robb</a>) and Seth (<a href="/name/nm1573253/">Alexander Ludwig</a>)—who claim to be aliens running from the "Siphon" (<a href="/name/nm0940430/">Tom Woodruff Jr.</a>), an assassin from outer space sent to kill them. They are also being pursued by Major Henry Burke (<a href="/name/nm0001354/">Ciarán Hinds</a>) of the U.S. Defense Department. The only way Jack can think of aiding the two aliens is to ask for help from Dr Alex Friedman (<a href="/name/nm0001303/">Carla Gugino</a>), a scientist who is presenting a lecture to a UFO Convention at Planet Hollywood. Together, the four of them race to Witch Mountain where their spacecraft is secretly parked. Race to Witch Mountain is being billeda "modern re-imaging" of <a href="/title/tt0072951/">Escape to Witch Mountain (1975)</a> (1975), which was based on the 1968 novel Escape to Witch Mountain by American science fiction writer Alexander Key. The story was re-adapted for this movie by American screenwriter Mark Bomback. Seth can vary his molecular density allowing him to pass through solid objects. Sara can read minds and move objects by telekinetic force. The original actors who played Tony (<a href="/name/nm0252055/">Ike Eisenmann</a>) and Tia (<a href="/name/nm0001668/">Kim Richards</a>) in Escape to Witch Mountain have cameos. Eisenmann plays a sheriff, and Richards appearsa waitress at Ray's, a roadhouse in Stony Creek.
