G-Force

Horrible movie with lots of cringe, somehow managed to include some New World Order talking points. If there's anything good to take away from this experience; you should probably destroy your Wi-Fi connected appliances.. especially blenders and coffee makers.

An appealing and thrilling diversion with a fun blend of cuteness and seriousness. Who couldn't resist guinea pigs who wanted to save the world by going into the style and occupation of mission impossible? Now, this is what I call a real underdog story. Some of the humor is quick, sharp, and very well executed in terms of some of the cleverly cute script, some dialogue, and even the use of voice acting without going for stupidity. There are moments of potty humor, but, it wasn't used for humorous jokes, it was used as a useful weapon (sometimes). Trevor Rabin's score is decent enough, but that does not mean it did not grab my ears attention. It can go from orchestral spy music, to rousing epic action music, and even somber emotional music. The characters were more than just cute, they are portrayed as serious heroic individuals without being heartless and crude. The CGI effects are surprisingly convincing, even when the team has emotion, and has a stellar cast to be on par. The voice cast has delivered a first-rate performance, with brazen, emotional, and relatable material that makes the CGI characters come to life. The cast of live actors also did a great job, especially the human protagonists. The villains (Saber and Speckles) are dastardly and ambitious, not to mention their personalities make them fun to watch, and they both have simplistic depth. As for flaws, some of the dialogue does not make much sense, some other human characters are stereotypical, there's not much surprises here, and it's entertainment value may not live up to it's full potential, but it's still a fun, likable enterprise. the movie even stresses positive messages about believing in yourself, caring for others, teamwork, and family. To conclude: despite it's flaws, G-Force is a solid choice for families, especially ones with children (age 6 and up). To conclude:

I tried to get the movie to play on our iMac.. no dice. It does work on our Google Nexus 7, but then the screen is too small for the kids to watch from the couch.. where is the button for a refund?? Rating is for lack of ability to watch.. although kids have seen this one before and loved it
