Spy Kids 3-D: Game Over
Short description
Spy Kids 3-D: Game Over continues the adventures of the Cortez siblings, who were introduced as children working for a secret spy agency. This time Carmen is trapped inside a virtual reality video game built by a villain known as the Toymaker, who intends to use it to take control of young people around the world. Juni, who has left the agency, returns to enter the game and work his way through its levels to reach his sister and stop the Toymaker's plan. The film is presented in 3-D and largely takes place within the game's environments. Robert Rodriguez wrote, directed and produced the film through his company Troublemaker Studios, with Elizabeth Avellan also producing. It is the tenth of the twenty-four films he has directed, following Once Upon a Time in Mexico and preceding Sin City.
Daryl Sabara and Alexa PenaVega return as Juni and Carmen, while Ricardo Montalban appears as the children's grandfather and Sylvester Stallone plays the Toymaker. Courtney Jines and Ryan Pinkston are among the credited cast of thirty-three, supported by a crew of 113.
Made for a budget of 38 million dollars, the film took about 197 million dollars worldwide, a strong return for a family adventure. Audience ratings are modest: 4.4 out of 10 on IMDb from around 71,000 votes and 5.1 out of 10 on TMDB from roughly 2,400 votes. A critics' rating of 5.5 out of 10 from 136 reviews places it slightly above the audience scores.
What's left behind the scenes
- All scenes with George Clooney were filmed in half a day in his own home's living room.
- The indoor water park at the beginning of the film is Schlitterbahn water park in New Braunfels, Texas, USA.
- Due to the actors playing in the final scene being busy with other projects, it was necessary to film them separately and then 'assemble' them on screen using digital technology.
- Director Robert Rodriguez specifically requested that the role of the Warrior be written for Elijah Wood. In 1998, Rodriguez's horror film 'The Faculty' starring Wood was released. The costume the Warrior wears on screen was originally intended for Juni. It was repainted, after which it turned out to be difficult for Wood to get into, so it had to be taped to the actor in some places. In the scene where Wood's character is kneeling and talking to the other characters, the actor simply looked at the ground. This created the impression that he was towering over the others.
