Zenon: Z3

The first Zenon was novel and cute, and had meaningful plot line with quirky characters and a happy, Disney ending. The second wasn't nearly as good, with a less original plot and more attention spent on special effects (the aliens) than plot details. After the second Zenon, I never planned on having to sit through another disappointing remake on an originally perky and fun theme.

Sequels CAN be good, as Toy Story 2 showed us. However, each movie in the Zenon series has gotten progressively worse. Z3 has yet another unimaginative plot, with insignificant details and more flashy outfits and scenes than characters. There are only seven characters of even remote significance, and the plot would have been no different if it were compressed to three. The only reason Aunt Judy, Commander Plank, or Proto Zoa, three crucial characters in Z1, were inserted was for the "remembrance factor." Zenon's parents, who were also critical to the plot of Z1, are not even mentioned. Even Nebula, Zenon's best friend, appears less times than can be counted on one hand. The changing of actors for the same character which was sad and very noticeable in Z2 has happened in Z3, with a new Proto Zoa.

The storyline of Z3 leaves much to be desired as well. The plot of Z3 is frighteningly similar to Z2, with some kind of weird force trying to contact Zenon. This time, though, there is no explanation as to why the force is calling her in particular, or even what the force really is and how it has the power to do what it does. In addition, the villain of this movie is not nearly as sinister as Wyndom, having no clear motive or even an immediate effect on Zenon herself-- yet Zenon willingly takes on trying to foil his scheme.

The issue of the character Bronley also completely defeats me. It's obvious from the beginning he's going to end up as someone's love interest. However, his real role in the movie is nonexistent. When we first really get a glimpse of the character, he turns out to be an enemy of Zenon, and you begin to think that maybe there's some kind of hidden alliance between him and the real villain. But don't get your hopes up.

I could continue, but it isn't even worth it for such a disappointment of a movie. Watch the original Zenon, but don't even bother with either of the sequels.

I wonder if the term viral became negative in the 2050s instead of a more positive term now because of 2020 🤔 Also I had no idea that Jordan from Holiday in the Sun was in this.

I have seen this movie and in my personal opinion, I liked it better than the other two. Sure, it had it's down moments... but if Zenon acted the same way she did when she was 13 then it wouldn't have been realistic. Kirsten Storms kept Zenon's ditzy nature through out the entire movie, but she has matured, so her role did as well. The plot was unrealistic, but much better than The Zequel. It was a great movie, with catchy phrases that will replay over and over in your mind... as from the other two. The new characters were believable, as were the old ones. The romance wasn't overwhelming, but just enough to keep teen girls interested and little kids from getting bored with the mushy love stuff.

The directors focused hard on keeping the childish, soft heart and fun feel to the movie while at the same time showing that Zenon isn't perfect and most certainly has grown up. I would recommend this movie to fans of anyone in the cast, to pre-teen and teen girls and younger kids, male or female. I've heard only good reviews from 18 year old girls down to 10 year old boys. It's a healthy family movie... Just don't force your He-man, chick flick hating guy to watch it. It will bore him and annoy him to death.

When I saw Zenon Z3 I Loved Zenon again. But it wasn't The BEST out of the three Zenon Movies. There were some disappointments in the movie but there were some Good things about the movie. Like I loved the character Dasha I loved the Actor and the character. But some things i didn't like about the movie was like they only put Nebula (Raven) in two scenes. Or Margie was a bit different.

But All though there were tiny mistakes I still thought it was a cute little movie but it wasn't the best movie I think Tru Confessoins and Halloweentown were Better than this movie. But like I said before Disney Should just stop trying.

I never realized that tonight must have been the premiere of this. So how does this 3rd installment, 5 years after the original fares up.

To me, it has taken a downward spiral.. The original movie was fun in a witty way. This one degenerates quickly to a love teeny story with some rather weak made for the film music. The whole movie feels like an episode taken out of some series than a stand alone movie. The cast has been exaggerated badly and they are simply trying too hard. Camera wise, it also feel like a series. There is no depth, no angles.. just straight shifting of the views. The gadgets they use are annoying. Disney never really progressed the idea at all. However, unlike the 2nd one, this is a wild shot and i hope the last of Zenon.

3/10

Because they really failed with this one. Watch a rerun of the original (which you notice they never air so you cannot compare how bad the other 2 really are!).
