After their mother dies, teen twins Rachel and Theo are sent to live with relatives in Auckland, where they come across three alien races. The seven shapeshifting Wilberforces love all things rotten and seek to lay waste all of Earth through the power of the seven Gargantua, enormous slug-like creatures trapped, one apiece, under Auckland's seven volcanoes but soon to free themselves. Mr. Jones is an alien too, the surviving twin of a pair come to use their fire powers on the other aliens. Only twins can unleash the firepower from a set of magic stones, but after failure with a previous set of twins, Jones hasn't much hope for Rachel and Theo, though he doesn't know they can tele-communicate with each other.
Leave your thoughts about Under the Mountain.
| FEARnetScott WeinbergSeems intent on delivering a science-fiction / monster movie / adventure tale that's suitable for (mostly) all ages. |
| User ReviewDevanshi BI watched the TV series of Under The Mountain as a kid, and read the book several times. I absolutely loved it and I think the movie will be great, Sam Neil is a brilliant actor. The scenery of New Zealand will be a spectacular spot in which to base the film I can't wait to see it! |
| User ReviewWS WOf course this movie could have used something. It's a remake of movie made from a book, but the story is still there if you pay attention. I love Under the Mountain; it's something truly different from what you see on the big screen all the time. |
| User ReviewBruce sit is a remake but strong enough 2 stand on its own. and Sam is right he is not a shorts man . to under stand that look out the original. made in New Zealand |
| User ReviewAJ GFor never having heard of this movie before, I actually thought it was pretty good! A simple tale involving the captures the monster/sci fi element very well without going too overboard. |
| User ReviewJess BCould've done more but overall I like it. (September 8, 2010) |
| User ReviewDedy N CThe story telling was not good, Most movies uses some introduction story in the beginning. But not in this movie, for example of story telling of this movies: "Legend said that twins can communicate each other with telepathy" or something like that. Surely because of that, I didnt understand what this movies wanna to tell at the beginning. So then I feel getting bored and wanna stop the movie, And suddenly I'm getting mad by what the characters played. Its started when The male twins leave his sister at home alone, and then knock-knock on the door. She want to open the door but then stopped. She understand something bad will happen if the door open. Why she's just waiting the door to be opened? Why she is not run away? Oh I hate that part, So I watch and hope that there is something different to watch. A gift because my patiente watching this movie, surely an happy ending. and My gift was that Bleeding skies views, not all volcanoes look terrible when the skies started to shine by its fire eruption. This one shows great view. |
| User ReviewKristian MI loved the show The Third Eye on Nickelodeon as a child and Under the Mountain is the series I remember most from it. This movie adaptation pretty much captures everything I remember from the show perfectly except for a few lines I wish had been kept because they were so memorable. A very enjoyable watch. |
| User ReviewRichard SThe movie was good for teenage... Lots of moral values in side this movie... Don't be selfish like Theo and Mr. Jones.. Trust the person who trusted in you and she/he that always be there for you... I'm touched emotionally.. Hahaha.. ^.* <3 |
| User ReviewKevin FNice movie adaptation of the Maurice Gee classic. It did suffer from having a lot cut out compared to the book to fit into a 90min runtime. Effects on the Wilberforces were well done and just love Sam Neil. |
