Critics Consensus

Lacking the punch and good cheer of The Incredibles and Sky High, Zoom is a dull and laugh-free affair.

The title describes the sound that you should make in your car, or on foot, or on mule, heading away from any cinema showing this film.

Rated: 1/5

... this fizzled action flick lacks the wit, style and substance of so many better efforts ...

... a copycat kids' flick that raises smiles but no laughs.

The end result is really a film that more sputters than zooms, but survives mainly upon the strength of its committed cast with an obvious chemistry.

Rated: 2.5/4.0

The script could've been salvaged if it had a cast to pull it off, but everybody seems like they're just in it for a paycheck.

Although it is aimed at very young children, Zoom doesn't even work as a kid flick. It is truly one of the worst films of the year.

Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, os personagens são carismáticos, mas não são relevantes para esse filme ser bom

Modern cinema has come no where close to this masterpiece. It’s fun and camp and I love it so much despite its terrible plot and script it’s so fun

This is my very first review I have ever done. I created an account just so I can tell anyone willing to read this that it was the worst movie I have ever seen. Everything about it was so bad to the point I started wondering how it was even created. It was so bad that I decided that the people who made this movie must have used it as a front to launder dirty money and didnt care if the movie was tolerable to watch as long as they cleaned the money. That's the only explanation as to why it was created in my opinion. I also feel sorry for the actors having been apart of this mess. The creators in my opinion would have been better off just paying the cast and set workers to stay home and just pretend they made a movie. I hope I got my point across on how terrible this movie was and I should also note I am highly dyslexic and I still wrote a review and if you read this I am sorry for wasting you time even more because most of my ramblings probably don't make sense and I already forgot what I wrote in the review and I don't want to go back and read it Lol after all that I'm surprised you kept reading this and don't worry my theory on the money laundering was just a joke to entertain myself because after watching that movie this review is the only entertaining part
