    Storyline

    Edit
    Former superhero Jack Shepard, also known as Captain Zoom, is called back to work to transform an unlikely group of ragtag kids into a new generation of superheroes. At a privacy academy, he trains Dylan, a 17-year-old boy who can turn invisible; Summer, a 16-year-old girl with telekinetic powers; Tucker, a 12-year-old boy with the power to enlarge any part of his body; and Cindy, a 6-year-old girl with super strength. —Anthony Pereyra {hypersonic91@yahoo.com}

    • Trivia
      In the only photo of the old Zenith team, in addition to Tim Allen (Zoom) and Kevin Zegers (Concussion), the other teammates are portrayed by Alexis Bledel (Ace?), Wilmer Valderrama (Marksman?), and Devon Aoki (Daravia?).
    • Goofs
      When Dylan sees a display in the control room with pictures of the 4 of them with their stats, 3 ages are wrong: 6-year-old Cindy is listed as 10, 12-year-old Tucker is listed as 11, and 17-year-old Dylan is listed as 18. The same display shows Tucker's and Cindy's hero names, but they got those names seconds before Dylan saw the display.
    • Quotes

      Larraby: I told you not to call me unless the world was going to end.

      Dr. Grant: I don't know about the world ending, but we've been tracking a pan-dimensional anomaly that seems to be moving toward our time-space continuum.

      Larraby: Dr. Grant, I speak Greek, not geek.

    • Crazy credits
      The film opens with a prologue detailing the history of Team Zenith, and ends with a shot of the new Team Zenith Roster, both in comic-book art.

    Needed to be about the kids
    Jack Shepard (Tim Allen) is disillusioned bitter former super-speed superhero and sole survivor Captain Zoom of Team Zenith. Dr. Grant (Chevy Chase) exposed the team to Gamma-13 which turned older brother Connor/Concussion to the dark side 30 years ago destroying the team. Now General Larraby (Rip Torn) in Area 52 and Grant bring back Jack with the help of psychologist Marsha Holloway (Courteney Cox) to train a new group of kids. Dylan West (Michael Cassidy) is a teen with invisibility and clairvoyance. Summer Jones (Kate Mara) has telekinetic powers and empathic senses. Tucker Williams (Spencer Breslin) can blow up parts of his body. Little Cindy Collins (Ryan Newman) has super strength.

    Tim Allen is too bitter and sarcastic. Chevy Chase is silly without being funny. He's just a pathetic shadow of his former self. The adults are the problem of this movie. This needs to be about the kids. The little girl is actually quite funny. The kids need more screen time to develop. This is simply a badly thought out comic book movie.
