Movie Reviews of The Seeker - The Dark is Rising
Movie Review: Fair escapist fantasy
Summary: 3 Stars
Will Stanton, seventh son of a seventh son, has a destiny. He is to be the one to save earth from an ancient darkness, come to new life. None of this fits his idea of his fourteen-year old self. He has only five older brothers and, as he says, "I don't even know how to talk to a girl."
It turns out that there was another brother, his older twin, who mysteriously vanished years ago. Will's distraught parents couldn't bring themselves to say the lost boy's name, preferring the numbness of forgetting. It also turns out that talking to girls, in his case, might not be a great idea - at least, not yet.
So, the quest is on for the Mystic Thingies (which he finds in the nick of time) and the world is saved. "Seeker" is a pleasant bit of fluff. The child and teen actors are suitably cute, especially Will's little sister. The mystical guardians are suitably sinister, and the good guys win. Maybe it's not memorable, and the reunion is highly implausible, but "Seeker" is a competent, enjoyable fantasy.
