I saw all these good reviews, and I just came to put in my opinion. Personally, I was not impressed by this movie. First, the plot was just plain dry. It was missing that kick of sugar. I mean, people, not being able to find water. Who made up this plot? Because I was not excited, scared or feeling any emotions during this movie. All I was feeling was boredness. At the time, I had not seen many other movies with Johnny Depp. Just one. That was the 2010 remake of "Alice in Wonderland." I was blown away by his performance. My friend had seen his "Pirates of the Caribbean" movies and loved them. I believed in him. Then, I saw this. I mean, it is aimed at kids yet, they said he** and one of the characters started to say the b word but was blocked out by another noise in the movie. Then, there was that snake. He was totally scary. I was even a little freaked. Then, there were guns? In what kids movie is there guns?! Anyway, this has been the worst Nickelodeon movie I have seen in my life.
