  Special effects! :D And that's it.
  
  It's not that there's anything really awful about this film; but there's absolutely nothing good either. Lacklustre but adequate acting performances... read more »

  Just OK
  
  Not up to expectation. Could have been better. Impressive graphics but, weak story line. Could have been better if split into a squeal.

  Could do better
  
  I struggled to watch this to the end. It was just so predictable and boring. The characters and script were nothing special and the storyline lacking.
