    • Trivia
      Because Alex Pettyfer was only 15 years old at the time of the film, he did not yet have a driver's licence, so the scripted car chase was changed to a horse chase.
    • Goofs
      When Alex gets his gadgets, he is told that a particular cartridge is a bug finder, but in his bedroom, he puts in the cartridge that is a communication device.
    • Quotes

      [Darrius Sayle is on a large TV screen in the MI6 Headquarters, giving an interview to the BBC]

      Alan Blunt: [pauses the video and stands up] We don't trust him.

      Alex Rider: Why not?

      Alan Blunt: Well, we don't trust anyone. It's sort of what we do.

    Passable Bond-for-kids action flick
    For a relatively unknown spy action thriller, 'Stormbreaker' is a surprisingly entertaining film, even if it does try a little too hard to be the kids' version of James Bond. As you would expect, this film is full of gimmicks and never takes itself too seriously, with a bunch of over-the-top action sequence and a shallow plot that feels like it is almost entirely built around the action.

    It does serve a purpose though and it's an ideal choice to pass some time. If you can see past the many plot and character flaws, there is sufficient entertainment from the action scenes alone, and that's what most people want to see from a film like this. 'Stormbreaker' is a passable family spy action film - it won't leave you bored but it won't leave much of an impression either.
