For a 3D movie, G-Force falls very flat.

Reviews for G-Force
Obtain a human-sized version of a hamster wheel, then spend a couple of hours scurrying around inside it, and you’ll have had an experience far more varied and stimulating than what’s on offer here.
08/04/09
The animals seem more real than the humans, but the comedy is overly cute and the tone forced.
08/04/09
Though the film as a whole delivers ample thrills, it does lag occasionally and is encumbered by bland voiceovers and a lack of laughs

Top CriticTechnically accomplished holiday fun to while away a wet afternoon with the sprogs, G-Force is exciting while it lasts, but about as memorable as the bucket of over-priced popcorn.
07/31/09
Top CriticImagine ordering a Diet Coke only to be handed a formula on a piece of paper and you have some idea of what watching G-Force is like.
07/31/09
Top CriticThere is a distinct pet-shop whiff coming off this weirdly soulless and not especially funny or exciting family comedy from Disney about guinea pigs.
07/31/09
Top CriticThe story feels thin and faintly incoherent, the action is loud and relentless. A milder version of many other Bruckheimer films, then – which doesn’t mean kids won’t love it.
07/31/09
Top CriticNowhere near the originality of anything from Pixar.
07/31/09
Without a strong villain, a charismatic hero or a clear quest, it's all just a pointless frenzy, an exercise in going nowhere fast. A bit like a hamster on a wheel.
07/31/09
A slick slice of efficient family entertainment, but lacking the inspiration to turn in into something special.
07/31/09
G-Force excels visually, with the cuddly critters being particularly impressive and the action sequences colourful, vibrant and effectively assembled.
07/31/09
This Jerry Bruckheimer production is a surprisingly light-footed caper for cinema’s reigning king of bombast.
07/31/09
This is actually great (if ultimately silly and slightly cheesy) fun with quite a few nice sly digs at the genre that is trying to snuggle up to.
07/31/09
This is not a movie for Hamstered intellectuals. Just imagine how Alvin And the Chipmunks might have turned out if it had been directed by Michael Bay.
07/31/09
The plot lurches joylessly from A to B, while the bored-sounding voice cast - Nicolas Cage, Penélope Cruz, Sam Rockwell - might have delivered their dialogue down a phone line.
07/31/09
Kids will have a fur-ball watching this part-computer generated part-live action movie.
07/31/09
Maybe for today’s computer-gaming sprogs, speed, violence and animation (in all senses) are enough.
07/31/09
One or two of the ideas are actually not bad – there's a rather cute joke about a mole, for instance – but for the most part, it's like running on a wheel.
07/31/09
The action scenes are much more impressive than the predictable plot.
