Are you in the mood for action and adventure? Then check out Disney’s RACE TO WITCH MOUNTAIN, which opens today in theatres. It is the latest chapter in the WITCH MOUNTAIN series, which originated with the 1975 classic movie, ESCAPE TO WITCH MOUNTAIN.
RACE TO WITCH MOUNTAIN focuses on a Las Vegas cab driver named Jack Bruno, played by Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, who unexpectedly ends up assisting two “teens” named Sara and Seth, played by AnnaSophia Robb and Alexander Ludwig. They aren’t just ordinary teens though: they are alien siblings who possess paranormal powers! Sara and Seth have come to Earth to retrieve a device left by their parents. This little device is very meaningful, as it holds the secret to saving their planet and the earth. Will Sara and Seth (and Jack, of course) be successful in retrieving this device? Will they be able to fight off alien and earthly enemies? You’ll have to watch the movie to find out!
This movie is a definite thriller complete with crazy, out-of-this world stunts, alien battles and scary military pursuits. Be ready to be scared, but don’t worry: the movie often uses humour to soften the “creepy factor”. Speaking of the “creepy factor”, the movie is probably not appropriate for very young kids. It’s just a little too violent. Overall though, RACE TO WITCH MOUNTAIN was fantastic!
Rating: 4.5/5
