Alexander Key's 1968 novel Escape to Witch Mountain gets a new working by director Andy Fickman. When out of this world twins Sara (AnnaSophie Robb) and Seth (Alexander Ludwig) crash land their spacecraft outside of Las Vegas, they are picked up by Vegas-taxi-driver-with-a-past Jack Bruno (Dwayne Johnson) who soon finds himself immersed in a battle to keep the feds and a nasty 'Siphon' sent by bad-guy aliens to kill Seth and Sara at bay. Seems Seth and Sara are the linchpin to saving humankind's destruction at the hands of the bad-guy aliens. On route they enlist the help of UFO scientist Dr. Alex Friedman (Carla Gugino) and the foursome, after far too many chases, find themselves captured. Resourceful as ever - this is Disney afterall - the group escapes and the the alien twins complete their mission and save earth. Yay! Race to Witch Mountain is a good film that keeps you engaged but ultimately falls short when plot is sacrificed for action.
My rating 5 out of 10.
