What makes it different from others?

the audience applauded

A film with more than the usual spoiler issues. Talking about it in any detail feels akin to handing you a gift-wrapped present and saying, "I hope you like it -- It's a thriller about a diabolical secret experiment."

Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.

To most that remember Johnny Quest, the family was just full of men....Always. It was always Johnny, Dr. Benton Quest, and Race. Then came Hadji and of course we cannot forget Bandit. Well this retelling of the family Quest shows us Johnny's mother for the first time and then sets up the story of how she is taken away from the team forever. Dr Quests eternal foe and "cold war" analog Dr. Zin makes a bold and high tech appearance here that is voiced perfectly by Jeffrey Tambor. Overall its a cool venue for those that came late to experience Johnny Quest of the 60's but for those that grew up in a time when the original was new, it may be a little hard to swallow. Whatever your taste, this is a nice middle of the road story and beats the pants of its direct sequel: Johnny and the Cyberinsects.
