User Reviews

Better than the original movie.

The live-action is fun filled to follow although there are many errors in the scenes, it still proves to be effective.

One thing I also liked is the aliens' animation into real 4D creatures. However I was disappointed by the fact that he only went hero few times with less aliens.

It is better than the original tho .
