Despite the best efforts of a talented cast, Race to Witch Mountain is a tepid reboot that lacks the magic of the original.

This surely has to be the last of the series. Apr 17, 2009 | Rating: 1/5 | Full Review…
This surely has to be the last of the series.
It's pacy all right, but glib and uninvolving for grown-ups, though perhaps furnished with enough in the way of spaceships, lasers and digital explosions to pacify undemanding little 'uns of an afternoon. Apr 9, 2009 | Rating: 2/6 | Full Review…

It's a rattling good chase movie. The young aliens have useful tricks. Johnson is the contractual comic liability. Perfect holiday nonsense. Apr 9, 2009 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

The planet-hopping children have special talents -- telekinesis, telepathy etc. -- although it is the high-wattage lovability of Mr. Rock that's the real superpower on display here. Mar 18, 2009 | Rating: B | Full Review…

The Rock is always fun to watch, and Robb and Ludwig are quite good as the two alien teens. Jun 6, 2019 | Rating: 2.5/4 | Full Review…

Johnson does all he can to carry the film, but ultimately "Race" is stuck in neutral -- spinning its wheels with one mind-numbing sequence after another. May 15, 2019 | Rating: C | Full Review…

While it's hardly genre-changing, this is a nice dose of fun, family entertainment. Feb 21, 2013 | Rating: 6/10 | Full Review…

Everything about this "Race" comes off as a cheap also-ran, with little of that ol' Disney magic anywhere to be found. Sep 29, 2011 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review…

While the shootouts and sprinting manage to entertain in a decidedly PG fashion, Fickman's little touches stuffed into the corners of the frame lend Race the personality it dearly needs. Jun 2, 2010 | Rating: C | Full Review…
