Really bland, ill-conceived tale which kept me waiting for something that never occurred. The high point happens at the end when the kid (Kai) launches himself into another dimension of time using only sticks, a crystal and a whim. Predictably, he meets up with his mom who gives him so much jibber jabber advice that he wills himself back to his original time. I must admit I was wishing the kid would pop out in the jurassic Era only 3 yards away from a famished Tyrannosaurus. This would certainly compensate for the time I forfeited on this odious flick
