TeenzTen An action-packed slog

Manthast Absolutely amazing

Mabel Munoz Just intense enough to provide a much-needed diversion, just lightweight enough to make you forget about it soon after it’s over. It’s not exactly “good,” per se, but it does what it sets out to do in terms of putting us on edge, which makes it … successful?

Kimball Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

Jordan_Haelend Even as "Eragon" rode on the, er, dragon's tale of Star Wars, so this arose from the sea to try to bank on Harry Potter. Unfortunately, you have to "best" the original material if you don't want to sink at once and be consigned to the $2.00 movie bargain bin at Wal-Mart."Billy Owens is turning 11. Turns out this little rapscallion was born on the 11th day of the 11th month, at 11pm no less, so it ventures to reason he has some powers of the magical variety..."Well, with credentials like that, it's a dead certainty that he would be able to end a world war, so I suppose that the next stop for Billy is a flick in which he goes back in time and manages to do just that.

matwi42 It's hard to make a fun, enjoyable "bad" movie. I've seen a wide selection of b-movies, cheesy plots/writing, stiff acting, cheap effects. Some are good fun to watch. Others are painful to force yourself through without MST3K. This is one of the fun ones, filled with laughable content and easy to watch without outside riffing, one reason I gave this 3 stars.The plot moves along nicely enough, filled with bad lines (i.e. "The strongest bond between friends is friendship"), stagnant acting from most, and topped off with Roddy Piper's accent - a mash-up of Tom Waits and Christian Bale's "Batman" voice. Any fan of b-movies should add this to their must-see as a blatant Harry Potter knock-off with parts Narnia, parts Goonies, and parts SyFy Thor with extra cheese.

Azlan Lewis If I could give his a minus review I would give is a -10. Even with the synopsis I saw on my in home viewing service, I felt this was a Harry Potter rip-off. I was right to a degree.You shouldn't watch this movie it just not tolerable. Had the acting been better it would have been something to watch.Well this is NOT a movie/video on how NOT to make a movie as one review had stated it is one that shows you the actors should get a script long enough before the actual film date so they can be believable.A lot of the details are filled in by voice over from the "Know-it-all" girl (Hermiony Granger rip-off from Harry Potter)but in an annoying manner. While in HP, Hermiony at least is shown to get her knowledge by reading book. This "Know-it-all" girl just seems get her facts out of thin air and though are factual they come across as annoying.I couldn't watch it threw the end. I am glad I am not charged for each thing I watch on my in home viewing service.This is one to skip.

j h Amateurish in every respect. Not watchable. This movie was a big disappointment for my wife daughter. We sat down for an evening together and ending up annoyed and feeling cheated. The movie would be useful for anyone interested in how not to make a movie. A well made movie is seamless and the viewer is not distracted while watching to wonder about he skills of those who made the movie. Conceivably a viewer might be forgiven if they thought that anyone can make a movie. This movie is a sure cure of such delusions. Just watch this and get reminded of how much effort it takes to develop a coherent plot, to have words for the characters that don't make them sound repetitious and insane and to set up shots where viewers can actually see what is going on.
