Fun Stuff

Trivia:
When Trevor opens the box of stuff belonging to his lost brother, he pulls out an odd item and says he doesn't know what it is and sets it aside. The item is a stereoscope, a device invented in Victorian England for showing a still image so that it appears to be in 3D. more

needs more science, less fiction, 20 July 2008
2/10
Author: VigintiTres from United States

While the 3D special effects were cool, they don't add anything to the bad writing and acting. The storyline was terribly predictable and bland, basically throwing in everything a 7 year old would love to see, whether it makes sense in the story or not. It leaves many questions unanswered, so its best to not question it and just accept that its all founded purely on imagination. Fraser, while his acting was mediocre in this movie (compared to his other work that i enjoyed much more) it was still a highlight for me. Hutcherson, however, seems to ruin every scene he's in with his either lack of expression or over-acting. Something about it just seems so unnatural and dissonant. If you're 6 and like to see good 3D effects, no matter what the movie is, i would suggest this movie. If you're anybody else, don't waste your time.
