A-
 
"The hardware is played down this time and the result is character intensive movie that just so happens to have some of the best special effects of the season."

"...a good addition to this summer's family movie entertainment with its meaningful messages made appealing by a solid sense of humor."

"The sometimes confused story %u2013 with so many players, a who's who checklist is needed to keep things clear %u2013 is aided with the oft-thrilling chases that punctuate the film."
