Critics Consensus

The movie will be found wanting if one is not taken in by the 3-D visuals.

Film Frenzy

This featured particularly unsightly 3-D effects at the multiplex, so it’s a minor mercy to catch it in 2-D at home.

Rated: 1.5/4

Stream on Demand

Strewn with adolescent puns and nerdish video-game humor, and the best 3D effects ever hurled at an audience (still fun even in tradition 2D), you hardly even notice that all pretense at story has been tossed off the screen with everything else.

Joel Siegel

Good Morning America

There's a lot of hand-to-hand action, just like a video game, that gets harder as you move up a level. Also, like a video game, there is no story. You have no idea who is fighting whom. Or why.

Rated: D+

"Spy Kids 3" is a rollercoaster of nostalgia that brings back childhood memories. The film's plot is thin, but it’s packed with non-stop action that keeps you entertained. Watching it again, the excessive use of green screens and dated CGI are hard to ignore, often pulling you out of the experience. However, the movie’s charm lies in its relentless energy and imaginative world. As a kid, I was captivated by the idea of entering a video game, and that sense of adventure still holds a special place in my heart. Without the nostalgia, the flaws would be more glaring, but for what it is—a fun, over-the-top ride—it still delivers on entertainment. While it’s far from a cinematic masterpiece, "Spy Kids 3" is a time capsule of early 2000s filmmaking, filled with enough heart and creativity to keep you watching.

Willow

This is a true time capsule to the wacky antics of the 2000's. Take a deep dive in to the deep fried world of "Game Over", a VR designed by the toy maker. The continuous mystery of Grampa and the toy maker's shared past is continually mysterious. It's a real blast from the past, including the real villains of the show, the pogo-toads. Mindless entertainment for the whole squad.
