Race to Witch Mountain on Blu-ray and DVD

August 13th, 2009 • Related • Filed Under

I still remember the hours of fun I had pretending to be Tina after seeing Escape to Witch Mountain and Return to Witch Mountain when I was a kid. So I was probably more excited than my kids about seeing Race to Witch Mountain, which was released on Blu-ray™ Hi-def and DVD on August 4.

Directed by Andy Fickman, Dwayne Johnson stars as a tough-talking cab driver  who joins forces with otherworldly siblings to stop a global disaster. The film also stars AnnaSophia Robb, Alexander Ludwig and Carla Gugino with special appearances by Kim Richards and Ike Eisenmann, who played Tina and Tony — the siblings from the original  Disney Witch Mountain films.

In the movie, Las Vegas taxi driver Jack Bruno  sets off on the adventure of a lifetime when two mysterious teens ask him to drive them deep into the Nevada desert. Jack agrees to take siblings Sara (AnnaSophia Robb) and Seth (Alexander Ludwig) to Witch Mountain, a shadowy government outpost
devoted to studying inexplicable phenomena – including UFO sightings. But his young passengers are no ordinary teens. With a ruthless adversary on their trail, Sara and Seth display astonishing supernatural abilities and Jack becomes a reluctant hero as he helps them evade their pursuer. As Witch Mountain reveals its long hidden secrets, Jack discovers that his passengers are the only key to saving the world!

I really liked the movie, as did my 11-year-old son. I think it’s worth adding to the DVD home collection.

The movie  is available in three-disc Blu-ray Combo Pack that includes the film in both Blu-ray and DVD formats, two- disc DVD and single-disc DVD.

Race to Witch Mountain has a suggested retail price of $35.99 for the 1-Disc DVD, $44.99 for the 2-Disc DVD and $51.99 for the 3-Disc Blu-ray Combo pack.
