Movie Reviews:
- GenerationofSwine: Well, it didn’t age well. At least not the special effects. But, they were more practical than digital and that makes a difference. You get the feeling that the people are actually there when the effects are practical and not digital, and you don’t have that sensation that you are watching other people play a video game like you do with a lot of the digital effects heavy movies these days.
It’s just, the practical effects weren’t that great and kind of cheap, even in 89, because they figured… kid movie.
However, it’s still more Family Movie than Kid Movie. It has enough in the way of adventure and fun to appeal to all age groups, and it knows how to keep things clean without dumbing them down… and that is something that a lot of family films do NOT know how to do.
It has enough where, the only people that don’t like it are the people that need everything deadly serious, and they aren’t going to like much
