Adventure Force 5

We loved it. This is a GREAT family friendly, sci-fi action movie and overall, a crowd pleaser. My 5 year old wants to watch it over and over. I love the girl character Olivia and her strong personality, I'm all about showing my daughters strong, powerful, independent female role models and this was just a perfect display of that. The movie was very entertaining, thrilling and cute, shot in a stunning beach town background which was an appealing view. We loved watching the big brother and little brother bond and relationship, so cute and endearing with a great message for my daughters as well. All the actors were really like-able and very cute. I love Jamie-Lynn Sigler in it! She plays a mama that all the mama's can relate to. The characters are really likable and the plot is definitely captivating. It really spurred my 5 and 4 year olds imagination with the creative story line and clever visuals! They were playing after and imagining themselves in the movie! I really enjoyed watching this with my daughters! A perfect family movie and a nice break from all the cartoons they watch that I can't get into. All in all, a great family film to get into on a Saturday night

Adventure Force 5 was a film that was very interesting from the beginning to the end, it kept me entertained throughout the whole film. The film was based on 5 kids who all had a special part in the film, in which there mission was based on a Japanese game called the chronicles. This film is definitely a movie that any one of any age could watch and enjoy it , I enjoyed it and would be watching it again. The movie has a lot of great graphics, and has a vivid descriptive imagination to it, which keeps you interested in the movie. In this movie Jack and Joey were brothers who had played the game the chronicles, and Jack knew what was happening and what was going on. It was based on a game, and I love playing video games and seeing movies based off of video games, so this movie is definitely a must see. At the end the kids broke the spell and there lives became normal again. In my opinion, I give this movie a rating of 10, because the movie was a great movie.

My kids couldn't get enough of this film. It's got fun action, great characters and a unique plotline that we all enjoyed. Reminds me of the kind of films I grew up on and loved.

Adventure Force 5 is a fun, cute, often charming, and sometimes even an endearingly funny movie. A dash of The Avengers, a dash of Sky High, a dash of Babe, and a dash of Diary of a Wimpy Kid, this film is a fun movie for kids and their families. What I really loved about this movie is the older brother-young brother relationship. Maybe I'm a bit biased because I have a younger brother, but knowing that I would do anything for my younger brother, and seeing that mentality portrayed on this screen (especially with an anti-bully concept in the beginning) shows me that films like that exist for more than entertainment value -- and in the familial sense where the kids just want their mom -- they are here to educate, and this film does a great job of blending both entertainment and education for a wild, fun ride.

What a surprise & relief! This film is great. At last, a really good film aimed at children, but still suitable for adults of any age...and without resorting to any swearing or sexualizing the cast (no lascivious clothing, the now standard Hollywood open pouty mouthed looks of submission / unnecessary lipstick on young girls, compulsive romance between main characters etc). Incredible & unexpected- I'd given up on any decent, well made films for children being possible in the modern age...

I can't stand review that just regurgitate the plot, so without giving anything away I urge anyone interested in Science/Speculative Fiction to check this film out. The story is a different take on the 'Conceit of Scientific Progress' & has great resonance for todays youth ...& adults. It also pays homage to cinema classics from Asia (Ultrman/ Inframan ! ) & Manga . Effectively this film explores the modern Myths of the tele-visual age with style & insight. Everything about it is brilliantly done, from considerate direction & production values to the acting & soundtrack, There isn't a boring moment in its brief running time - a sequel should be mandatory...

The only negative points- for those who are really fussy- There are a couple of 'No Way' moments that are still reasonable within the films slightly stretched 'logic', and some of the characters don't have the time to be more fully realised, yet these are very minor quibbles for a film that's so enjoyable & manages to impart very serious questions regarding the effect of modern technology on susceptible minds / modern Humanity. It may have been even better if it was 10-15 minutes longer! It does look as if one scene was cut.

This film is harder hitting than nearly all the recent junk I've watched/reviewed. The director has previously been involved in some excellent documentaries, let's hope he continues making intelligent cinema like this. All the irritating elements of 'young modern film makers are absent from this - ie: out of focus-shaky cam-strobe edited- brain bludgeoning soundtrack/effects levels & contrived dialogue... Instead this is imaginative, really well made entertainment with a good heart , sense of humor & serious/important intent... & numerous quotable lines. Maybe that's why it's been ignored by the critics?

My rating is 8 to 9 , out of 10 compared with all films. & 10/10 for a children's (genre) film.

Note- watch all of the film including the credits until the very end...
