What to Know

Critics Consensus

Lacking the punch and good cheer of The Incredibles and Sky High, Zoom is a dull and laugh-free affair.

The title describes the sound that you should make in your car, or on foot, or on mule, heading away from any cinema showing this film. Go to Full Review Stephen Garrett Time Out 12/30/2006

2.5/4.0
The end result is really a film that more sputters than zooms, but survives mainly upon the strength of its committed cast with an obvious chemistry. Go to Full Review Micheal Compton Bowling Green Daily News 11/20/2019
The script could've been salvaged if it had a cast to pull it off, but everybody seems like they're just in it for a paycheck. Go to Full Review Jim Vejvoda IGN Movies 07/28/2014
Although it is aimed at very young children, Zoom doesn't even work as a kid flick. It is truly one of the worst films of the year. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Macca M @Justice4SharkboyandLavagirl Jan 2 Zoom (2006) was trying to rip off a much better movie in the form of Sky High See more Ally P @RT50483059 Nov 19 This movie is a nostalgic must watch, it’s cheesy movie with a great soundtrack. See more Corey P @RT54533884 Sep 20 I don't know about others but I personally enjoyed it that might be because I watched it when I was younger. But growing up to the age I am now I still like it might be trash to other people but as they say "one man's trash is another man's treasure" See more Jesse T @RT80433996 Jul 28 This was probably one of the worst movies i watched. It was an okay concept, but poorly executed. I had watched it with my siblings when we were kids and none of us liked it. It was a build up, not a good one, to an ending that was honestly underwhelming. See more Casper C @RT22785224 Jul 20 This movie started my love for superheroes. Its not in depth, its not perfect, but it still makes me smile ear to ear when I watch it. Sometimes you can look at 100 reviews for a movie and come out with a completely different outlook then what other people did. Each of the characters is goofy in their own way. My brother loves the lead, I think the kids are great. It gives me that feeling you get when your a kid, that you too can be a superhero, that even with a pretty crappy outlook on life theres some fun and even family. And maybe im delusional with nostalgia but I dont think that's it. This is mindless fun that gives me back those thoughts and fantasy of carving my hero name on a wall before going to save the world with a team of people who may fight but still get along. And the songs in it are great, I love smashmouth and my favorite song ever is So Insane. When I give this movie 5 stars I mean it in a place better then a perfect movie, its one I actually love. See more Marlow T @RT64473282 Jun 3 Horrible plot, Bad effects, Just a bad movie I LITERALLY almost fell asleep while watching it. See more Read all reviews
