In SPY KIDS 3D: GAME OVER, state-of-the-art digital 3D technology puts something special into special effects action for the whole family. On their latest assignment, under-age agents Juni and Carmen Cortez (DARYL SABARA and ALEXA VEGA) journey inside the virtual reality world of a cool but crazy video game, where anything is possible, including the impossible. Action film veteran Sylvester Stallone joins the cast as the power-hungry villain the ‘Toymaker,’ who wants to take over the youth of the world, and Juni and Carmen must battle their way through tougher and tougher levels of a three-dimensional game ingeniously designed to outwit and defeat them. Using their usual humor, gadgetry, bravery and family bonds, the Spy Kids must win every high-flying, puzzle-solving challenge, from racing road warriors to surfing on boiling lava. Meanwhile, high-definition digital 3-D sequences and special viewing glasses give the audience a chance to interact with the largerthan-life excitement on screen. Adding to the visual fun, SPY KIDS 3D: GAME OVER also features all-new inventions from the mind of writer/director Robert Rodriguez, who lets his imagination loose in a blazingly colorful, futuristic game world come to life. In this latest chapter of the SPY KIDS trilogy, Antonio Banderas and Carla Gugino reprise their roles as suave spy-parents Gregorio and Ingrid Cortez and Ricardo Montalban makes a comeback as the Spy Kids’ grandfather, who plays a pivotal role in their mission. Also returning are Steve Buscemi as the mad scientist Romero; Alan Cumming as Floop; Bill Paxton as Dinky Winks; Cheech Marin as Uncle Felix; and Danny Trejo as Uncle Machete. [More]

Plays exactly like a live-action video game. That's meant as a compliment, not a criticism.

A painless diversion, but also an undeniable rush job that makes enough misguided storytelling decisions to place it as the worst of the three Spy Kids flicks.

Spy Kids 3-D: Game Over is about as vibrant as a penny arcade hit by a sudden power outage...is indeed one grand video excursion that needs to be unplugged.

[I]t's not really a movie, it's a video game that doesn't work.

It's depressing to see that one of the few franchises built on teaching lessons is now just a summer popcorn movie.

(Rodriguez's) gimmicks have improved, but the heart of the series is gone.

Spy Kids 3-D: Game Over is the clumsiest of the trilogy, but Robert Rodriguez still manages to insert just enough thrills and surprises to make the effort worthwhile.

If you don't like this movie, you're not allowed to watch another movie ever again. You dork.

In 'Spy Kids 3-D,' the charm of fascinating storytelling gives way to the encroachment of technology.

Rodriguez somehow keeps his franchise afloat with an old gimmick.

This one is so niggling and forgettable, it may not even be worth seeing to begin with, in any dimension.

A movie that aims for the fun and sensation of being inside a video game, but not a whole lot more.

...just about the most anti-climactic way to end a series ever.
