While this film could have been a blockbuster based on the storyline, the use of inexperienced child actors and the phony looking special effects really make it, at best, a mediocre film for pre-teens and kids. A recasting of the roles for a future version of this film, using experienced child stars, and some advanced CGI will make it much more exciting and believable.
