In all the time I've spent paying attention to the Netflix Top 10 lists, I can't remember many scenarios in which a brand new Netflix original movie took over the number one spot after its release and surrendered it the very next day. Netflix original films tend to have more staying power atop the Netflix Top 10 Movies list than others.
Spy Kids: Armageddon stars Zachary Levi and Gina Rodriguez as a duo of spy parents trying to keep their work lives hidden from their kids. The new pair of soon-to-be spy siblings are played by Connor Esterson and Everly Carganilla. This sequel's story — which is honestly just a dull, modern rehash of the original Spy Kids plot — revolves around a new video game that the kids can't wait to get their hands on.
The original Spy Kids is campy and leans into its B-movie influences. Armageddon comes off as cutesy, and a forced cutesy at that. It trades in the interesting visuals from the first movie for CGI that looks like it came straight from 2001. Levi and Rodriguez have absolutely no chemistry, a far cry from the perfect pairing of Antonio Banderas and Carla Gugino.
What to Watch InsteadThere are much better family adventures out there, even if you don't feel like leaving Netflix. Spy Kids promises plenty of excitement and a story that centers around family dynamics. There are two awesome animated films currently on Netflix that check both of those boxes in big ways: Puss in Boots: The Last Wish and The Mitchells vs. the Machines. Each of those films is endlessly exciting and offers an even playing field for both kids and parents.
