Its in Theaters and after seeing the trailer on Good Morning America, I just had to go see it. Out of all the movies reviewed by me, I must say the Sorcerer’s Apprentice was one of the most enjoyed, if I should compare, the Sorcerer’s Apprentice and How to Train a Dragon is vying for #1 in the “most enjoyed” so far.
I have been a fan of Action/Adventure Movies and this is a movie that comprises of Action, Science Fiction and Adventure, so if you like Action/Adventure Movies, then you will definitely like the Sorcerer’s Apprentice. After researching it came to my attention that the movie is loosely based on the Sorcerer’s Apprentice segment in Disney’s Fantasia, and was produced and directed by the same team that worked on another hit from Cage, the National Treasure (All Three), Yes three. Apparently there is another coming in 2011 called “National Treasure 3“, Walt Disney plans to start filming in Fall of 2010.
Yes! Back to the movie, the storyline of the movies is based on Nicholas Cage’s Character “Balthazar Blake” a sorcerer who has been in search of the the person who will inherit Merlin’s powers while fighting against the forces of evil, in particular his arch-nemesis, “Maxim Horvath” who is played by Alfred Molina. So after years of searching Balthazar Blake now lives in modern day Manhattan, where he finally found the person to inherit merlin’s power. This turns out to be “Dave Stutler” played by Jay Baruchel (You may have seen him in movies like Tropic Thunder, Knocked Up and She’s Out Of My League), a physics student at New York University and that’s where the action starts.
I really recommend that you go out and see it, that’s if you really like Fantasy Adventure Movies. It one of those movies that depicts Good over Evil, the way it should always be in real life, unfortunately it is not so.
