This is a Walt Disney movie in the very essence of the meaning. As such, this is a movie that is suitable for the entire family. Watching it as an adult with no kids around, then chances are that you will find this movie to be too family-friendly.The story is about a taxi driver in Las Vegas who find two teenagers in the back of his taxi. These teenagers claim to be from outer Space, and as things become turbulent around every corner, taxi driver Jack Bruno starts to think that there might be something to the extraterrestrial claims.There is a lot of action and adventure in "Race to Witch Mountain", but it is done in a manner that allows even a younger audience to watch the movie as well. And the storyline is fast paced and has a good continuous flow to it.The effects in the movie were good, and the visual effects department did a good job in bringing the movie to life on the screen.While this isn't Dwayne Johnson's best movie, it is still fun and entertaining for the family to watch.

The story is just plain lame. This kind of adventure plot where the adult character protects younger characters, let them be aliens, foreigners or other kind of situations, and go through all kinds of things where the movie eventually ends happily with the ones being protected get to safety, is really a plot too often done in the more mature action movies, particularly those of secret agent movies. It even comes complete with the side plot of having government agencies chase after them beside the actual bad guys. Sadly, besides having Dwayne Johnson, this movie doesn't really bring any new stuff to the table. On the adventure side, particularly the alien movie side, which is in itself has become kind of a culture; this movie only repeats all the recipe of previous alien and kid movie. The acting overall is just a standard work, particularly so because this movie has Dwayne Johnson in it. His performance here seems to lose focus on combining his action movie roles and his family movie roles. Carla Gugino also doesn't really make this movie anything more special.

Fast-paced sci-fi action comedy that has The Rock playing an ex-con turned cab driver who ends up with two space alien children that are being hunted by our government and an assassin from their planet. To make matters worse, the cabbie is being pursued by some bad guys out of his past, so it's never a dull moment for these three. He is trying to get the kids back to their spaceship, which is in the hands of the government and stashed in Witch Mountain. The Rock is personable and convincing as a guy perpetually down on his luck, the kids are cute, and we get Carla Gugino as a controversial astrophysicist who helps the trio in their quest. Garry Marshall has a nice cameo as a UFOlogist. Lots of car chases and explosions and battles. Set in and around Las Vegas, which is its only flaw. A little too much time spent on the the Strip, which gets tired quickly. Better when they are out racing around in the desert. Great CGI effects, on which Disney must have spent tons of money.

Race to Witch Mountain is a great remake, so much better than most people give it credit for. Most people underestimate the skills of Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson because he is a former wrestler star and people think they can't act. I'll be the one to say he did a great job here.This is about a taxi driver who ends up with two aliens in his taxi disguised as kids and they want him to drive them back to their spaceship so they can leave.The special effects are very good especially for a kids-friendly Disney film. The music by Travor Rabin is surprisingly good. Overall, I think this is a great story for the whole family. Certainly better than the original. I rate this film 9/10.
