Spy Kids: All the Time in the World : Weaker Sequal but Great for Kids


Spy Kids 4D
Synopsis: 
The movie started with Marissa Wilson (Jessica Alba) who is a spy and pregnant, going after an evil villain, Tick Tock who has possessed an amulet that is able to freeze time. After successfully extracted the amulet and capture Tick Tock, Marissa decided to retired and takes the opportunity to become a housewife to Wilbur Wilson (Joel McHale), a failed TV reality actor for Spy Hunter, and his 2 stepchildren, Rebecca and Cecil.
However, an evil villain called Timekeeper emerges and using his gadget to fast-forward time from seconds to minutes to hours with the help of Tick Tock. The spy agency, OSS lead by Danger D'amo (Jeremy Piven) then summon Marissa to give back the amulet after finding that the Timekeeper wanted to use it for his devious plan. During Marissa absent, Timekeeper's followers located the amulet in Marissa's house and decided to break-in with their step-children unaware of the potential danger that is about to happen. However, Marissa has already rigged the house for any potential danger and an escape route was also built without their knowledge. Rebecca and Cecil managed to escape and transported to OSS where they learn the identity of their step-mother. Rebecca and Cecil then decided to go on an adventure together with Marissa and the other ex-Spy Kids to stop Timekeeper.
Review:

As with other Spy Kids franchise, this is quite a fun movie with many comedic actions non-stop. But when compared with other Spy Kids franchise, this is the weakest in the series of 4. I felt that the kids - Rebecca and Cecil are more of a brat kids who are into fun and games than super intelligent kids like Juni and Carmen in previous sequels which provides many quirky one liner jokes. However, that said, the movie is still an entertaining children action movie with plenty of colorful scenes to brighten the movie, non-stop action and some hilarious moments from Jessica Alba.
Verdict:
I give this a 2 star out of 5
