There's no better way to bring families together than by saving the world.
Full reviewWhen aliens abduct all of Earth's mightiest heroes, their superpowered children must step up and save the day in this family action adventure. Directed by Robert Rodriguez and set in the same world as his 2005 film The Adventures of Sharkboy and Lavagirl.
When alien invaders kidnap Earth's superheroes, their kids are whisked away to a government safe house. But whip-smart tween Missy Moreno (Yaya Gosselin) will stop at nothing to rescue her superhero dad, Marcus Moreno (Pedro Pascal). Missy teams up with the rest of the superkids to escape their mysterious government babysitter, Ms. Granada (Priyanka Chopra Jonas). If they're going to save their parents, they'll have to work together by using their individual powers — from elasticity to time control to predicting the future — and form an out-of-this-world team.
