Race to Witch Mountain.

Race To Witch Mountain is a movie high on action but small on plot detail and special effects. Witch Mountain is a movie about and ordinary taxi driver, Jack Bruno(Dwayne Johnson), who finds two children in the back of his cab one morning. They hand him a big wad of cash, he drives them to this abandoned shack, and he finds out that they are aliens. In order to save their planet, the children must get back to their spaceship which is locked up in Witch Mountain( a top secret government base.) Along the way they are pursued by the U.S. government and an alien assassin sent to dispose of the children.
That's the plot line. The movie doesn't go into much detail about why the children are there and it doesn't let you get to know the characters very well. There were also some small things I didn't think the movie needed, including the character Dr. Alex Friedman (who didn't really do anything in the movie except stand on the side and watch everyone) and a few men from the mob who try to get Jack Bruno to come with them and you never figure out why. The alien killer, which was pretty cool and looked like it came from the same planet as the Predator, also didn't have many scenes in the movie. It seems that it was just another thing for Dwayne Johnson to punch which made up the whole movie.
The special effects weren't the best for a sci-fi movie made in this generation thus making the movie a little less enjoyable. While some scenes like the one where the alien boy stopped hundreds of bullets from killing them were well done, other scenes with explosions and alien tech weren't the best I've seen.
On the other hand, the cast did a good job. In my opinion, everything with Dwayne Johnson is enjoyable. The movie was strictly a fast-paced action flick that's fun to watch while you're eating popcorn. Despite the cast's best efforts, this movie will not be in my list for best action flicks of 2009. 5.5 out of 10.
