Review of Race to Witch Mountain (2009) by Hypers — 15 Aug 2009

Relentless, excessive, noisy. 10% normal dialogue, 80% action sequences, and 10% action dialogue. Yes, the director forcefully tries to make even dialogue scenes an action sequence (most notably all military personnel scenes).

I.e. Fast paced rock music in the background, unnecessary over-the-top spastic dialogue, cliche acting and intentions, and the convenience of "God Technology" where two people can know anything and everything in under 10 seconds (director's notion of story-telling).

The two kids and Dwayne Johnson played their roles fine along with other (non-military) supporting cast. Despite the heavy emphasis on action (which I thought was a little annoying) there was still enough here to warrant at least a 5.
