Walt Disney Pictures resurrects one of their time-honoured franchises with RACE TO WITCH MOUNTAIN, a family-oriented sci-fi adventure that tells the story of two alien visitors (AnnaSophia Robb and Alexander Ludwig) whose search for their spacecraft gets them caught up in an adventure with a cab driver (Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson) and a UFO specialist (Carla Gugino). As the group races toward the mysterious mountain in the Nevada desert that has mystified scientists and paranormal researchers for years, the government, gangsters, and an extraterrestrial bounty hunter attempt to prevent them from reaching their intended destination. Should the two planetary travelers fail in recovering their ship, an alien invasion will be launched against the entire planet.

Los Angeles Times

Robb is exceptional as Sara, delivering the stilted alien-speak lines as if she's been talking that way her entire life. And the chemistry between Robb and Johnson is just short of terrific -- you know Jack would protect Sara with his life and not because he has to.

Don't waste your time

LKD from , 5th March, 2010

I rented this because I really liked the original (even though it was already quite an old film by the time I watched it as a child) and because I like the Rock. This was a disappointing re-make and even the Rock couldn't save it. Perhaps young children might enjoy it but it was actually boring and the characters lacked personality. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone - not even a 10 year old.

New Version of a Classic

DJBazz from , 4th February, 2010

The special effects are good and the build in tension is quite effective for the target age group. But; this is really a remake of Close Encounters (but not as good).

Good remake!

A Customer from Dromore, 22nd January, 2010

This is a good sunday afternoon movie, with enough action to keep it alive. The Rock plays the taxi driver and hero to good effect, and the kids arnt the typical fame academy brats and do their roles justice. Great for all the family.
