An archaeology professor goes missing in a cave and his students, along with a couple of younger siblings for some reason, head out to find him.
The cave happens to be the home of the fountain of youth and has tons of time traps (slowing time, speeding it up, and so on) to protect the fountain. Hilariously the worst trap is nowhere near the actual fountain or that would have really hurt the story.
I didn't realize going in that this was essentially a kid's movie in the same vein as Goonies, which they mention. It just has older kids (college) as the stars with the youngins along for the ride. Oh, and none of the humor or charm of Goonies.
The cave is a cool concept, as is how time passes and what they witness, but overall I thought it was a bit silly. Too much focus on the kids, and they were the least interesting part of the story.
If I did a scale of 1-10, this would be a 4 for adults and a 6 for kids.
