Race To Witch Mountain (2009)


Even though it has the Disney tag on it, don't be fooled by it because this was an excellent movie and I'm starting to believe that maybe Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson (Get Smart, The Scorpion King) is the real deal for Hollywood. This movie had all the action a kid and an adult could want out of a movie about Aliens that want to recover something on Earth to help save their planet. Again, Dwayne plays a cab driver in Las Vegas that has seen his share of trouble when he runs into what he thinks is two adolescent teenagers in the back of his cab, but they turn out to be Aliens. The only problem for Dwayne besides running from the mob in Vegas is he also has the Department of Defense after him because he has the Alien subjects. The aliens are played by AnnaSophia Robb (Jumper, Bridge To Terabithia) who plays Sara and Alexander Ludwig (The Sandlot 3, Air Bud: World Pup) as Alex, who just want to save their planet as well as ours from invaders. The movie also features Carla Cugino (Righteous Kill, The Watchmen) as a UFO doctor, Tom Everette Scott (That Thing You Do!, An American Werewolf In Paris) as a special agent, Chris Marquette (Alpha Dog, The Girl Next Door) as another special agent who plays the typical scaredy cat one, CiarĂ¡n Hinds (There Will Be Blood, Munich) as the typical no frills, tough guy by the book special agent manningthe whole operation, and a cameos by Cheech Marin (Of Cheech And Chong Fame), Garry Marshall (The Twilight Of The Golds), and Dennis Hayden (The Man In The Iron Mask). This Movie has everything from Explosions, Alien Assassins, Train Wrecks, Aliens, and the weird Star Wars nerds that go to conventions. I give this movie Four Stars Out Of Five
