Note de seechelle2
Before you read my review, a few caveats: 1) I had never heard of the movie or the book before walking into the theater. In fact I just heard of the book by reading the other comments here 2) I'm not particularly a fan of fantasy/sci-fi movies. Like this movie, I generally just go along with the group who wants to see them.
That said, I had no expectations for this movie. When I saw that the theater previews before the movie were for kid's movies, I knew not to expect much. But when the movie came on I found a satisfactory amount of concern with the characters and interest in outcome. I was entertained. Not blown away . . . but entertained. Believe me, I've seen much worse.
The worst thing I can say is that it left me with a lot of questions about the background of the characters . . . but that was explained away by the OBVIOUS hint that there will be a sequel.
Maybe I'll check out the book. It seems like a good story I'd want to know more about.
By the way, the two friends I saw the movie with, being fantasy movie fans, hated it. . . .

I can't say I hated this film, but it didn't touch me with awe and wonder like many people have stated. Although I found the story interesting, and parts that were very touching, I found the film as a whole lacking. For those who like cinematography, it was beautiful. For those who like great acting, everyone in this film was excellent (especially the kids). But there wasn't enough depth to the characters that makes one really care about what happens to them and why they do the things they do. I just didn't care. Someone else said that at the end of the film there was silence . . . in my theater there was a sigh of relief that it was over.
Overall 5 out of 10 stars.

I broke my own rule buying this movie from the $5.88 bin at Walmart. Basically, if a movie has a big star in it, and you've never heard of it before, it's usually for a reason. Well in the case of this movie, the reason is because it SUCKED! They plaster Sandra Bullock's photo and name all over the cover of the DVD as bait, and it reeled this little fishie right on in. I was thinking of donating the disc to charity, or giving it to the library, but I don't think I would want to subject anyone else in the world to this movie. Worst lines: "What do you mean army buddies?" "What do you mean your dad?"
