I gave this movie three stars for the three things I liked about it. Seeing Tia all grown up. Seeing Tony all grown up. Seeing the reporter in the beginning, thinking she looked familiar, and then she said, "This is Natalie Gann, reporting for (such and such).." It was Meredith Salenger, title character from the 80's movie "The Journey of Natty Gann"...one of the best Disney movies ever. That was really fun and unexpected for me, who loved that movie so much. Those three appearances were there only thing I liked about this movie. My kids thought it was "OK." Wish I had saved my small fortune to take my family of 6 and waited for the DVD. This movie had no emotion, no heart. Do your kids a favor and rent or buy the original "Escape to Witch Mountain." It's a hundred times better. In the original, the alien children had powers but acted human, I grew to care about them, I felt for the old man who helped them, he had emotion, he was believable as a crusty old man whose heart was softened as he helped the kids. By the end you will care about them. In this movie you won't. The special effects in this movie of course surpass those in the original by far- but it had NO HEART.
