The Rock: Every Movie Ranked From Worst To Best

27. Race To Witch Mountain (2009)

Race to Witch Mountain is a (very loose) remake of the classic 1975 fantasy film Escape to Witch Mountain, and while enjoyable to a point, is strangely enough one of Johnson's most forgettable movies.

Failing to make the most of its daft sci-fi premise, in which Johnson's ex-con cab driver tries to protect two alien siblings from the clutches of the government, Race to Witch Mountain is a lowest-common denominator adventure film that doesn't deserve Johnson or his talented co-stars AnnaSophia Robb and Carla Gugino.

It's watchable, for sure, but just way too flatly dull and predictable from start to finish, even for the middling standards of a family-friendly fantasy flick. Wholesome, but boring.
