Adventure Force 5

Round up the kids and pop the popcorn because Adventure Force 5 is a great example of pure family entertainment with a bit of an edge to appeal to all audiences. The film follows 5 kids (all typically outcasts in some way) on a mission to stop a former disgruntled tech guru as he releases an unknown threat in the city of Kona Beach. To my my surprise, from the first scene, my kids and I were hooked and instantly I felt like a kid again. I also recognized the Walmart Toy line so seeing these homemade gadgets in action was a thrill (great promo!). For a lower budget film, I found it to be kinetic, well paced and the CGI inserts weren't too shabby either! It was dope to explore themes of Family and Anti-bullying as well. Much like spy kids, Adventure Force 5 is potentially a nostalgic childhood fave for Gen Z!! 8 stars !!!!

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.

Great movie! I was on the edge of my seat the whole time. The acting and effects were better than I anticipated. This is a worthwhile film to watch!

My son watched this with me who is a big gamer and he loved it as well. He said that he has already recommended it to some of his other friends to watch.

80's humor and tech, meet current tech and references, to rival future tech gone rogue. Two brothers that have begun to grow apart, must work together to undo the wrong doings of an evil genius with good intentions. This movie has the largest mash up of moods and styles I've ever seen packed into a single film, which to its credit, contributes to its unintended hilarity. A fun movie for tweens with its appropriately placed characters and spot on social themes. I give this movie seven stars, only to warn viewers whose bar for visual effects has been spoiled rotten by the greats such as Michael Bay and James Cameron. For as tech heavy as this movie is, its talent lies in the high concept yet somehow simple and succinct plot.

Fun and light action show to watch with the kiddos. Hoping for a sequel, kids want to know what happens to the new fivesome once the save the world.
