Cheesy and dumb. That giant drone scene during the climax would've been considered a cinematic masterpiece 80 years ago. You can tell they didn't put any effort into making this. The acting was okay as far as I could remember, but that doesn't really make a difference because the plot sucked a$$. Every action scene felt like an episode of the Odd Squad from PBS Kids. The original movie was a bit better, watch that instead.

Considering that it's a kiddie movie, it's quite alright. Even I did enjoy a few laughs and giggles. Anyway I have always been a fan of Lou Diamond Phillips. 5/10.

The original from 1996 high higher steaks and a real danger element in the story. This was a joke and not taken seriously. The attempt to make this good was not there it feels like it was another ploy to make money off of a name of a movie that was way better than this. This movie being associated with Universal hurts. Missing elements. Humor, action, and story.

The gags are pretty feeble and the action flat, and Wilson (seen to much better effect in Annabelle: Creation) over-acts so much you fear her eyeballs will pop.

Rated: 2/5
