I'm giving this movie a few extra stars as I read some of the other low reviews and they are simply inaccurate. It's about teleportation, not time travel kids. The young leads do a really great job, Sam Jones hilariously chews up the scenery, and John James is a gleefully evil bad guy. It's a movie having fun with an old genre and I throughly enjoyed it. Maybe some of the younger viewers want darkness and irony but I don't. Many of the effects are pretty ropey but that never stopped me from enjoying the "Star Trek" or "Dr. Who" series.
