Hello Cinephiles,
Today we’re talking about the 2010 film The Sorcerer’s Apprentice.
Story
This story takes liberties with history, mythology, literature, and physics but it has excellent beats and a good urban-fantasy story.
Score: 1
Characters
The leads are charismatic and so are the villains. There’s a distinct arc for all the characters and it’s well acted. I did find the love interest a little bland and his behaviour around her a little creepy. She felt like she was in the wrong movie but she did save their asses so that’s nice.
Score: 0.5
Dialogue
Cheese and one liners between scenes of pining and info-dumps. It sounds tedious but they did an excellent job of alternating and keeping thing fresh.
Score: 1
Visuals and Music
The movie was stunning. The special effects look fresh even a decade and a half after it’s release. They did a great job with night filming without making it too dark.
The music used the original theme extremely well and created a pretty epic soundtrack.
Score: 1
Fun
This movie was made for fun and everyone in the family loved it.
Score: 1
Overall
One of the best urban-fantasy movies, it keeps you on your toes and despite the warping of history, it’s well paced and wonderfully acted.
Final Score: 4.5 Stars out of 5
