Editorial Review:
The Spy Kids are back again! This time, their trademark action is combined with the very latest digital technology and the thrill of the 3-D experience to deliver a motion picture event that pushes family fun to the next level! Secret agents Juni (Daryl Sabara) and Carmen Cortez (Alexa Vega) set out on their most mind-blowing mission yet: a journey inside the virtual reality world of a 3-D video game where awe-inspiring graphics and creatures come dangerously to life! As they face escalating challenges through increasingly difficult levels of the game, the Spy Kids must rely on humor, high-tech gadgets, and the bonds of family in order to stop a power-hungry villain (Sylvester Stallone) set on controlling the youth of the world! Also featuring familiar faces Antonio Banderas, Carla Gugino, and Ricardo Montalban in an incredible all-star cast!
Description of Spy Kids 3-D Game Over (Two-Disc Collector's Series):
The adventures of pint-sized secret agents Juni and Carmen Cortes (Daryl Sabara and Alexa Vega) continue. As Spy Kids 3-D: Game Over opens, Juni has left the spy agency and launched a career as a private detective--but when he learns that his sister Carmen has disappeared into a nefarious multi-user computer game, he agrees to go in after her, with the assistance of his grandfather (Ricardo Montalban). Three-dimensional special effects launch us into a topsy-turvy world of battling robots, souped-up motorcycle races, frogs on pogo sticks, surfing on hot lava, and much, much more. The story is even more incoherent than an actual computer game--but the movie storms along, driven by writer/director/editor/everything-else Robert Rodriguez's sheer visual enthusiasm. Featuring Sylvester Stallone, Antonio Banderas, Carla Gugino, and everyone else who appeared in the first two Spy Kids movies. --Bret Fetzer
Spy Kids 3-D Game Over (Two-Disc Collector's Series) Reviews:
Ben's review 
2009-06-22 - I enjoyed when the kids had the race. I liked the powerful grandpa. I liked when they fought with sticks. I'm six years old and think other kids would like it too.
Spy Kids 3D
2009-04-16 - If you love 3-D, this is great. The objects jump out at you - a real scream. It's also great to spot all of the a-list characters in bit roles. Fun for all ages!!
Pretty Cool Movie 
2009-03-28 - I bought this movie together with Lava Girl movie. While the Lava Girl is so poor made, this movie is pretty good and entertaining. The 3 D tech used is good. Got to watch it one more time.
Bad movie in bad 3d 
2009-03-21 - First I want to say that I got this movie from a really bad seller on Amazon. They sent a faulty copy that had been sanded paper thin and expected me to either find a player that woud work with the disc or send it back on my dime. Didn't agree to either path but finally found a cheap player that worked for the most part with the disc they sent. After about 17 DVD players.
Okay, I'll be fair. This movie was filmed for a polarized release but in anaglyph it is really bad. The amount of stick-it-in-your-face effects is way to high and pretty much every scene is like that. Word to the producers, IT DOESN'T WORK IN ANAGLYPh!! For those who don't understand, anaglyph refers to red-blue paper glasses. They work fine for still images or slow in-your-face effects. Not for shoving hands or objects into the viewers face in a split second. I understand that home viewers are pretty much limited to anaglyph since polarizing can't be accomplished on home sets but a better example of home 3D can be seen on the Hanna Montana DVD. I'm a grown man so that is kind of emberrasing to say but the truth. Anaglyph is better used for depth-of-field 3D than in-your-face presentations. In face it's kind of strange that the same company that released these DVD's didn't understand that since one works so well and the other falls really flat.
Enough about the 3D aspect. The story is pretty much vacant. There really isn't a story. The acting is worse than I've seen in amature movies made on VHS. I didn't see the first two Spy Kids movies but if this is the level of what is being made then I don't want to see them.
What makes me really sad is this is the last time we will see a truly wonderful actor like Ricardo in his last roll. I've heard about going out on your back but how far can you sink? Also Stallone made some really bad movies in the past 10 years but this? This was emberrasing. At least he redemmed himself with Rocky Balboa but this was a really bad showing.
Awesome 3-d!! 
2009-02-15 - If you're into 3-d movies, Spykids3d is well worth the purchase. The 3-d effects are superb and setting the story inside a videogame generated world is a perfect setting for the cool 3-d effects. It has a pretty big roster of well known actors like Sylvester Stallone and cheech Marin and others. The acting is hammy and comedic but pretty well suited for this kind of movie. All in all I can see this being fun for kids and adults. I thoroughly enjoyed it and thought it was well worth the asking price on Amazon. It's actually cheaper to buy it brand new then it is used. 4 & a half star rating!!!
