Looking at the other reviews, there seems to be a miscommunication about what type of film this is.
So this reviewer will be crystal clear: from the moment film first went into the camera, this project was intended a family/kids film destined to appear on cable channels all over the world either on a Saturday matinée or in the after-dinner hours.
Aside from Sam Jackson (whom I have been calling in my reviews since the 1990s "the most overexposed actor in film history") everyone else is second tier B movie material.
This is not die-hard "puberty edition." This is about fathers and sons and everything else is secondary to that.
So, now that we are crystal, it is really not bad. The effects are good, the bad guys are convincing, and even the action scenes work well.
Above average kids flick.
