Race to Witch Mountain
A taxi driver gets more than he bargained for when he picks up two teen runaways. Not only does the pair possess supernatural powers, but they're also trying desperately to escape people who have made them their targets.
Critics Sentiment
Jack and Alex free teens and launch alien spacecraft
Astrophysicist Alex Friedman joins the mission
Sharp drop when Dr. Friedman joins the story, as critics found Carla Gugino's character dull and chemistry-free with Johnson.
Race to Witch Mountain starts promisingly with strong visual effects and Dwayne Johnson's charismatic performance anchoring the family-friendly adventure. The film maintains decent momentum through action sequences but struggles in its middle act with predictable plotting and weak character development, particularly around Carla Gugino's scientist. It recovers somewhat for a satisfying climactic escape sequence, though reviewers consistently noted it lacks the heart and emotional investment of the original films.
