After having watched the trailer for "Race to Witch Mountain" I have no desire to go and watch it once it airs on my side of the Atlantic Ocean. I realize it's a kids' movie, but I find no dramatic appeal in it. The stereotypical "military = bad guys" also does not help in that regard, especially as it concerns both sides here, alien and human. The supercool alien kids with their telekinetic, matter-shifting abilities and tech gizzmos also turn me off. It just gives them too much leverage and does not create an atmosphere where it feels like they are truly outclassed, alone and on the run. A more serious approach to the topic might have worked for me. The way it is, it's just green anti-military propaganda hidden in the set of a kids movie.

As if you'd let us...
