Do not understand how average rating is calculated
Reviewer: MikefromBolton
Date: 22/10/2008
The average rating is three and a half, but I can only find two reviews, both of which award five stars. Am I missing something?
I am 61 and I took my two sons, aged 10 and 7, to see the film.
We all really enjoyed it - the story, the effects and the thrills all hit the spot.
Like the other reviews - I would have liked to know why the underground city was necessary.
Also, I would have liked to see the children exploring earth at the end.
Overall a great film.
