About G-FORCE – Produced by Jerry Bruckheimer (National Treasure, Pirates of the Caribbean), G-Force takes audiences on a deliriously entertaining thrill ride with a whole new breed of hero, featuring a stellar cast including Nicolas Cage (National Treasure), Sam Rockwell (Moon), Jon Favreau (I Love You, Man), Penelope Cruz (Vicky Christina Barcelona), Tracy Morgan (“30 Rock”), and Steve Buscemi (Charlotte’s Web), with live performances by Bill Nighy (Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End), Will Arnett (Ratatouille) and Zak Galifianakis (The Hangover). Academy Award®-winning visual effects master Hoyt H. Yeatman, Jr. (1989 winner for Best Effects; Visual Effects, The Abyss) makes his directing debut.
Synopsis – A top-secret, highly trained trio of guinea pig super spies is assigned to stop a dastardly plot to take over the world in G-Force, a gorgeously rendered CGI adventure from famed producer Jerry Bruckheimer. Squad leader Darwin (voiced by Sam Rockwell) will do what it takes to guarantee the success of his team, which also includes Blaster (Tracy Morgan), an outrageous weapons expert with tons of attitude, and Juarez (Penelope Cruz), gorgeous martial arts pro. With the help of Speckles (Nicolas Cage), a star-nosed mole, and myriad other members of the animal kingdom, the G-Force tries to derail evil appliance mogul Leonard Saber’s power grab. It helps when your fly-on-the wall reconnaissance expert is, well, a fly on the wall!
We had a blast watching G-FORCE. At first when I heard the movie was going to be a combination of live action and animation featuring guinea pigs I wondered how that was going to work. The G-FORCE is a highly trained secret group trained by the government to spy. The group consists of guinea pigs. Think A-Team and James Bond but with adorable guinea pigs. The government wants to shut down the G-FORCE program. The guinea pigs are on the run and wind up in a pet store, where they meet another guinea pig named Hurley and Bucky the hamster. The group escapes, after losing one of their own, and races against the clock to keep Project Clusterstorm, an evil plot that would have all appliances made by one company come to life and take over the world, from succeeding. It’s a race against time to find the bad guy, stop the appliances from taking over and keep the government from shutting down the G-FORCE. I was totally surprised when I learned who the bad guy was. Both RB and I think that there will be a follow-up movie in the future.
Here’s the trailer for G-FORCE.
