The first American theatrically released 3-D movie from a major studio since 1991's
Freddy's Dead: The Final Nightmare,
Spy Kids 3-D: Game Over is the third entry in three years in
Robert Rodriguez's
family-oriented
action-
adventure series. Along with the four members of the Cortez family, played by
Antonio Banderas,
Carla Gugino,
Alexa Vega, and
Daryl Sabara, most of the characters from the first two films have returned, including
Fegan Floop (
Alan Cumming),
Romero (
Steve Buscemi),
Machete (
Danny Trejo),
Dinky Winks (
Bill Paxton), and
Donnagon (
Mike Judge). This time around,
Carmen (
Vega) is kidnapped by the evil
Toymaker (
Sylvester Stallone) and imprisoned inside a virtual-reality game. It's then up to
Juni (
Sabara) to venture into the game and save his sister from the villain's clutches. The film's three-dimensional segments take place inside the game. Also starring
Salma Hayek,
Spy Kids 3-D: Game Over is actually the first of two 2003 films directed by
Rodriguez that complete a trilogy, the other being
Once Upon a Time in Mexico, the third installment in the
El Mariachi saga. ~ Matthew Tobey, All Movie Guide
