Zenon: Z3 (2004)

Sadly Over-hyped

Good movie but grossly overrated

This is a tender, generous movie that likes its characters and presents them as real people, full of flaws and strengths.

Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

I am a big fan of the first movie - "Zenon girl of the 21-st century", and after watching the first sequel I thought to myself that they ruined the whole story and the illusion, I saw this movie because there was nothing else to see on TV, and I'm glad I did, because this movie brought back my admiration to this story. The character of Dasha is great, and really adds to the movie... The best thing of the 3 movies is the special futuristic language. My favorite line is "Vega Omega", as you can tell, and "Stellar". The producers of this movie are geniuses. They have managed to create a perfect futuristic world, very similar to our world nowadays, but still with the cool outfits and language. May there be more movies like this one...

Ya know how there's one good movie that shows in theaters or on TV and after that it seems like the end of it? Well, sometimes that's not the story. The first Zenon was fantastic, and the second one was a little questionable, but c'mon people, there was no reason to make a third movie that was going to suck! Raven wasn't playing Nebula in the second one, but when they bring her back for the third movie, she's hardly in it. And it gets a little too predictable when at the end of the movie, Zenon saves the day and she's the hero of the world. BORING! Personally, this movie really annoyed me and I was disgusted by it. Just see the first two Zenon movies, they're worth watching. Watching the third one is just a waste of your time.

Zenon is back, only this time with a new upcoming star, Alyson Morgan (Dasha). Being an average person that enjoys shows that are made for families, I must say the Zenon movies are very enjoyable to watch. One of the best parts of this movie was the intro to Dasha. Dasha being played as a 10 year old, really should have been closer to 12, played the part excellent. She had the "popping and bounce" as the Zenon in the first movie. So it went hand in hand. The movie as a whole had me dreaming of being young again. While watching the movie, you can tell the actors/actresses really enjoy their acting. This is a non-stop comedy and action packed movie that I highly recommend to any family. Just my 2 cents worth.

After reading some other reviews about this movie I thought I would contribute a little of my own to hopefully give it a little more respect as it should be entitled to. It's not all that bad of a movie assuming you keep a few factors in mind while watching it... although, it would have been much better if they would have been able to get the same actor who played Proto Zoa from the firs two movies to reprise his role in this 3rd addition to the series.Anyway, if you watch it in terms of it being a "game" it's a fun movie to watch and enjoy. The way Disney Channel premiered it and aired it for the 3rd time the next night were probably the only good showings of it they will do. Just airing it as a plain movie won't be all that special or much fun in other words. If you saw the premier than you knew that this movie comes with a fun twist -- it has 50 hidden "Z's" scattered throughout the movie in which as you watch it you can try and locate them yourself. Some of them are quite difficult to see while many of them are extremely easy (true). So, if you were clever enough to record both the original premier and the Saturday night encore of it you've got the best 2 showings of the movie ever and 2 versions of the movie that you would be able to watch again and again if you feel like watching a movie just for pure fun and even to make a game out of it!If Disney does do yet another Zenon movie (Zenon 4) hopefully they will learn from this last 2 movies and make sure that they at least get ALL the original cast members and come up with a decent script for a MOVIE and just a script for an hour long TV show (which is probably all that Zenon Z3 is without the commercials... unfortunately).
