Don't listen to the Critics, this movie is full of action and meaning, NOT a typical save the world movie!

This movie is full of meaning and action! There are lots of graph/realistic scenes that will have you gripping your seat. There are times that you hold your breath because the suspense has a hold of your chest! This movie is beautiful and not a copy of any other typical movie on the same topic. Nic did great and the kids were really awesome!

I really enjoyed this movie and think that I will need to see it again now! I am sure that there is a lot of symbolism that I did not pick up on. *I know it is a silly thing but kind of chuckled because nobody seemed to shut doors when they got out of a car, I know that might be the last thing on their minds, but it happened a lot. :)

I did jump in my seat, hold my breath, cry and laugh...and I was in awe by the end. See the movie judge for yourself, stick it out till the end...it is worth it.
