There's enough special effects razzle-dazzle to distract the average ten-year-old, but the script by William Osborne and Michael McCullers is stilted and humorless -- a little camp might have helped.

What impenetrable, overwrought codswallop this one's turned out to be.
Derek Adams, Time Out
Rotten
A new and rather breathtakingly misconceived attempt to revisit a vintage TV show that did not under any circumstances need to be revisited.
Amy Biancolli, Houston Chronicle
Rotten
This is like a C-movie version of Spy Kids. And I didn't even like Spy Kids.
Richard Roeper, Ebert & Roeper
Rotten
Fun at times and tedious at others, it's an action-adventure fantasy aimed particularly at gadget-loving boys.
