Concussion (Kevin Zegers), switched to the dark side 30 years later he's coming back for revenge, and General Larraby (Rip Torn, apparently wearing a lemming on his head) and his scientists scramble to find a new team of superheroes for the reluctant Zoom to train. In the process, Jack's brother, Connor, a.k.a. The story line - pardon me while I snap together the pre-cut pieces - concerns Jack Richards (Tim Allen), a one-time superhero named Zoom whose team was long ago betrayed by their government keepers in Area 52. Seven-year-olds will find it passable entertainment, while their parents will pick their cuticles and wonder what the hell happened to Chevy Chase. The strictly B-list cast join Allen in sleepwalking through this lazy comic adventure, which foregoes clever plot twists and character development for pratfalls and fart jokes set to the gratingly peppy strains of rock band Smash Mouth.Made up of leftover parts of ``The Incredibles,' ``Sky High,' and ``X-Men,' ``Zoom' is pure Saturday matinee kiddie fodder and this close to going straight to DVD. Unknown to Zoom, though, his twin brother Concussion (Kevin Zegers), banished after a bungled military experiment turned him evil, has found a way to return to earth and wreak havoc, and the newly revived training ground is actually the government’s covert way of preparing for the inevitable hero-villain apocalypse. After 30 years of self-imposed exile, jaded superhero Captain Zoom (Tim Allen) gets a visit from government scientists Courteney Cox and Chevy Chase, who convince him to join them in training a whole new group of minors with mutant powers – among them telekinesis, invisibility, super-strength and (oddly enough) inflatability. A toxic byproduct of Hollywood’s comic-book renaissance and an obvious cash-in on the latest film fads, this fizzled action flick lacks the wit, style and substance of so many better efforts (namely ‘Sky High’ and the ‘X-Men’ series, to which this feeble diversion owes much).
