"When it hit theaters back in 2005, 'The Adventures of Sharkboy and Lavagirl' had its big draw in its 3D visuals - people in the theater would wear blue and red plastic lenses glasses to get a rather crude depth effect. That's what made this feature, which tries to ride the success of movies like 'Spy Kids', have considerable box office success. Today, everything is a bit aged in 'The Adventures of Sharkboy and Lavagirl': the visuals are strange, the story is bad and the 3D can't be reproduced at home. Nevertheless, even so, this different movie by Robert Rodriguez ('Alita', 'El Mariachi') ends up getting points for its strangeness and creativity, which remain alive even with so much evolution in terms of narrative, visuals and technical aspects of the cinema."
