Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.

A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

This is the third series to the Alvin and Chipmunks movies and mainly explore how the chipmunks reacted with they over boarded the ship due to another of Alvin's misbehavior. I have been reading a lot of reviews everywhere and mostly have a not so good ratings which I don't understand. Faults are objectives to one's opinion. It is a light-hearted family fun movie that I can see children and their parents watching together. In the second movie, it can be seem with the arrival of the Chippettes that they admired the Chipmunks but not much was implied there. But this movie, it explores the romance with a pair which was definitely interesting to watch. Also the groups dynamics while stuck on the island with responsibilities and silly actions. I quite enjoy the movie myself, it was entertaining and fun to watch and doesn't deserve severely bad ratings. Watch the trailer and decide on your own if you will be watching it. Don't let other people's opinion affect your opinions.

I saw this with my daughter as a dollar-movie special. It's terrible; it has some of the usual problems of many sequels, the CGI is not up to today's standards, and (surprise, surprise) the plot is lame and predictable. It could be even worse, hence the two-star rating, rather than one, but it's a real waste of effort. I had not seen the previous Alvin and the chipmunk movies, and I was a bit lost given that viewers were assumed to know not only the chipmunk characters but also some of the others. When the 'bad guy' from a previous movie was revealed, it was unclear to me why he was such a bad guy. It remained somewhat unclear even when he turned into one of the 'good guys' at the end. And if his switch wasn't abrupt enough, what about the change of heart shown by the girl who'd been searching for treasure? But even from the beginning the characters were unbelievable - from the moment at the very beginning when they were walking towards the ship and I kept wondering "what is he looking at?" Pathetic.

ALVIN AND THE CHIPMUNKS: CHIPWRECKED - Rating: C+ I have been a chipmunk fan since before the Live Action films came out (I consider myself generation 2.5 being born in '95 and being a fan of both old and new). I loved the first two, Squeakuel being my favorite. But, I can't give this movie as good of a review as the other ones. The singing seemed forced and not as free flowing as what it once was. They just wanted to cram as many songs into it as possible. I didn't care for the song selection other than "Vacation" and "Born this way/Ain't no Stoppin' us Now/Firework". And it's constant singing every 5 minutes. If you like the singing part, then this will be up your alley. But, I found it exhaustive. As for the plot, I get it. But, there was much to be desired. It's too short, and there's not a lot to it at all. It also seemed a LOT more serious than the other movies. It's supposed to be in the "CGI/Live Action Family Comedy" genre, but there's not a lot of real "funny" parts except a few attempts to throw in humor from other movies and videos (Even some from youtube)********SPOILERS******** Alvin is being Alvin again in the beginning. But that's pretty much it. The plot was quite predictable. There was too much foreshadowing. If they wanted to improve the story, add some suspense and then we'll talk. After the Chipmunks & Chipettes were stranded, things went for the worse. The way everyone's personality was changed wasn't the best idea for the plot, and it really changed the outlook on the movie. Because of the personality change, things became too obvious. After the cave was found and the volcano became active, the plot was laid down right in front of you and you knew instantly that there was going to be a race against time dealing with the treasure. It became obvious that Zoe instantly that Zoe was crazy looking for the treasure and that she would do something stupid to get it. Personally, I found her just to be another random person that they added just to stretch time.I understand that the movie was made for a younger crowd, but I still am a true chipmunk fan. I just can't come to truly love the movie like the previous ones. My advice, if you didn't care for the previous movies, don't waste the money. If you are a die hard fan, then it may be worth renting for a day just to see it (Redbox is only 1.20 after all) It's not the worst, but it's a far cry from the best.

Maybe it was because I didn't see it in 3d. Maybe it was because the video was perhaps the slightest out of focus and the sound wasn't the greatest. Maybe it will play better on DVD. But for the first time ever I swear, I was actually bored of the movie about halfway through. I had seen the original first movie and the second one and they were okay.This third one, in my opinion, was just a money grabbing machine. I mean, the songs were good but most of the movie was on the island and there wasn't anything interesting that happened. There were many movie references that were funny, but for the most part it was just an excuse for a third movie, which of course disappoints.Anyway, I'll give them a little credit for trying and for doing well with the animation, but I have to rate this 4/10.
