You won't be disappointed!

What a beautiful movie!

The first must-see film of the year.

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

I found this movie to be very good and my children found it very exciting! I highly recommend this for a family movie night. I have told my friends and family about this movie and they also have enjoyed it, but we are all wondering if there will be a sequel? Will the captain and Mariah go together in search for the parents? I know my family would love to watch it! The only problem I have, I do not recall ever seeing an advertisement or commercial for this movie when it was suppose to be released in the states. If there was a bit more in the advertising department this movie would have done better in the box office.

I came across the DVD having never heard of this film. It was a fun family adventure film similar to the Mummy series. I like the fantasy/reality world of set in the 1800's with the wild inventions and crazy machines. Micheal Sheen's character was well done and I would like to see more of him in this role. You can tell the movie is based on a teen adventure novel as it wasn't too complex and has some plot holes. I think more time could have been spent on them events leading up to the main movie plot. The race to find various magical antiquities leaves endless options for future films. Sadly as the box office was small I doubt there will be a sequel even though the movie sets the stage for this to be one of many adventures. Overall it is an enjoyable film.

Okay, this movie is far from award-worthy, but it is nowhere near as awful as people think it is. After discovering it online and reading several mixed reviews, I had to see for myself. Yes, the plot is thin and predictable, and the acting is one-dimensional. Some of the characters are actually quite laughable. But it's a fun, easy-to-watch movie that is excellent for kids since there is very little violence. It starts out really good, but it gets pretty silly as it goes along. It would have been a lot better if they hadn't tried to make it so challenging. If they had made it what it really was, a fun, lightweight kids' movie, it would have been a lot better. But some parts (avoiding spoilers here, but you'll see what I mean if you watch it) are absolutely ridiculous. Had they not included those absurd sub-plots, this would have been throughly watchable and more enjoyable. All in all, it's not the horrible disappointment that people are claiming it to be. But if you go in with high expectations, it will be. It's nothing more than a fun, simple adventure movie targeted at kids that i, as an adult, still found more than watchable.

adventure in pure form with seductive clothes. treasure, run, the magic of war between good and evil, inspired music and acting. a film for entire family joy, not different by trend but far to be disappointing. the mixture- Victorian atmosphere, one of Ancient myths reference, a good acting and children is real seductive. and that could not represent a surprise. sure, it is just entertainment but that is its basic virtue. it is not original but the use of ordinary references does it interesting. a shining movie . that is all. fight scenes, secrets, courage and adorable characters. a clear purpose and a lot of events. so, see it !
