As thought by the execs involved in creating this movie in Disney:
"Hey let's remake the Witch Mountain movies, but better!"
"Yeah, we can add CG effects, and explosions and stuff."
"Let's make the kids beautiful, but expressionless. That way they'll look alien. And make their powers more... powerful."
"But then the Grandfather needs to go, let's make him someone with a lot of expression too."
"Let's get Dwayne Johnson. He does that one expression. He'll be great."
"Yeah, and he's got muscles. He'll need someone to fight, so let's throw in some faceless MIBs, and someone really tough.... a big alien assassin! That'll show how tough he is!"
"But he needs to be approachable too... let's give him a sexy, super scientist to talk to. That way she can explain everything that Dwayne can't."
"And let's throw them into a sci-fi convention in Las Vegas. It'll be really funny."
"There. And just so people can connect with the old movie, we'll keep the name the same."
Genius!
Out of a possible score of 10 drunken barrel monkeys I give this an 6. They weren't drunk enough to take this movie to the level of bad to make it good again, and they were toasted enough to think this was a good idea in the first place. All they got out of this production was a mild headache and an ugly wench's phone number.
