Spy Kids 3D

Review by James Anthony

Click here for DVD details at a glance

The Cortez siblings are back and ready to save the world again from evil, nasty people.

This time around, however, Juni (Daryl Sabara) has to do a lot of the work himself as his older sister Carmen (Alexa Vega) is trapped inside a computer game.

Spy Kids 3D

Called out of self-retirement, Juni needs to move into the game to rescue Carmen and stop the Toy Maker (Sylvester Stallone) from carrying out his evil plan.

What follows is an amazing visual ride as Juni and some fellow gamers battle to beat the artificial intelligence set against them.

Spy Kids 3D comes with four pairs of 3D glasses but, as there is a 2D version of the game, take my advice and don't worry about them. I found the 3D just did not work well enough to justify the potential eye strain and even the kids thought the 2D version more watchable and fun.

Having enjoyed both of the previous Spy Kids adventures I enjoyed this effort, but not as much as the earlier films.

Both of the leads are great and carry the film well, and of the adults only Ricardo Montalban features through most of the duration. The others - a who's who of actors including Steve Buscemi, Antonio Banderas, Bill Paxton, George Clooney, Allan Cumming - were on set for a very short time and get cameo roles.

Sylvester Stallone, a much maligned actor at times, is not great as the Toy Maker.

Conclusion: 70% Extras: 80%
