Pros - Interesting enough to keep you watching. Scenery and effects are decent. Acting is pretty good, and the cast is perfect. Best of all, it's refreshingly free of the same old, stale, enough-already, w0keness that seems to infect everything out of Hollywood nowdays. Not "politcally-incorrect", just not w0ke.

Cons - Cheesy, unrealistic dialogue - especially from the youngest, Will. Every line he has sounds like a profound, dramatic proclamation. Very much NOT like a 10-12 year old's dialogue. Then there's the "comedy-relief", "class clown" characters, who are entertaining enough, but, come on, too much is too much. Also, the stopping cold right in the midst of major, life-and-death, every-second-counts emergencies to give an cheesy speech, or deal with petty teen crushes, ...ugh.

I guess what it comes down to is decent all around, except for the dialogue, and some of the writing in general.
