===================================================================
Race to witch mountain is a re-imaging of escape to witch mountain (1975). both film are based on a novel escape to witch mountain by alexander key on 1968.

when i first saw this movie on the cinema list, i thought it's a fantasy-like film. i don't even know what the movie's about when i first enter the cinema. after a while i knew that it's about UFO, alien, and space that kind of thing.

unfortunately i missed out the beginning part of the movie. it's about news of UFO sightings around the world appear. and i guess there's some crashing kind of stuff?cause i watched in the trailer (will post here dont worry).

here's some quotes from imdb

Tia: My brother and I, we're not from your planet. Jack Bruno: Well, you don't look like aliens. Tia: What's an alien look like? Jack Bruno: You know what aliens look like! They're like little green people with antennas, and "Take me to your leader, Earthlings!" Jack Bruno: That's neat. Real neat. Jack Bruno: Don't go in the pimped out fridge Jack... Imperial Stormtrooper: Hey, Jack, the UFO convention's in town. Jack Bruno: I hadn't noticed. Jack Bruno: You do know how to fly this thing, right? Tony: How do you think we got here? Jack Bruno: Well, you crashed. Remember? Dr. Alex Friedman: [crawling through a tunnel] I get claustrophobic in tight palces. Jack Bruno: [as they come to a long shaft] How are you with heights?

Seriously there's not much i can talk about the movie. cause it really didn't make me go "wowww". i feel it's more like a kiddy show instead.

I'll start with the characters. Dwayne Johnson as John Bruno?hmm..i couldn't think of anyone else who can act better then him. He's strong, big, and he;s hilarious. if i'm not mistake this is his second disney film. i think he'll be getting more and more chance to further his career with disney =D

AnnaSophia Robb as Sara. She's the "kind" one in this movie. she trusted John Bruno (the human) . and is kind to everyone. compare to her brother seth, she's much easier to communicate. Her acting was okay too. so as her "brother" seth, play by Alexander Ludwig, the cute guy =D seems like they've had several acting lesson with some teacher.

Carla Gugino is a good choice for playing as Dr. Alex Friedman. she does have the scientist look. oh ya forgot to mention. a failed scientist.

Alright next is the camera works. i realize that they like to use high angle, and close up shot. i'm okay with both of the shots. there's two scene. im not sure if its at the same location. but it's a high angle car moving along the road. both of the shots look exactly like the same shots. although its two different vehicle. i wouldn't prefer both shots to be high angle. it's enough for one high angle shot. if both the shots are in high angle, it seems no different. nothing fresh, nothing interesting.(do not refer to the picture on the right. that's not a high angle)

Also i notice that there barely have any low angle shots. erm..not even one..correct me if i'm wrong. i was talking bout the two high angle shots. and i would prefer a low angle on the second shot. it will look better.

Next is the visual. i'm impress with it. every scene are well arranged. i didn't check out who's the art director but i love the visual of the movie. The animation..right..i HAVE to talk bout the animation. near the end of the movie when the cops shoot them, because of seth's special Solid ability, they're all save. the bullets didn;t hurt them. The animation looks fake. Just the bullet part. the other animation use in this movie are fine.


i didn't talk much about the storyline. cause i think it's best for you to watch it yourself. plus i missed out the beginning part. 5 minutes?or maybe 10 minutes..so i won't talk about the story here. i'll just post the trailer here.
