Movie Reviews of The Seeker
Movie Review: In a new tradition of fantasy
Summary: 4 Stars
Red Shift (Collins Voyager) and other Alan Garner
tales share this strange English sort approach to 'magic' and the struggle between good and evil historically. The idea that some people are
somehow chosen at a very early age is also part of the Tibetan tradition.
I found the acting pretty good, but the use of dark lighting again irritated me as it made it hard to distinguish details. The camera work was also very jerky and discontinuous,but overall I enjoyed the movie.
Movie Review: Don't read the book first!
Summary: 4 Stars
I really, really wish I had not read the book first. The single most boring, sleep inducing, confusing and silly book ever; the movie was definitely an improvement over the book. I only went to see the movie because Eccleston was in it, not enough, as it turns out, but I enjoyed the movie enough to recommend it to friends and see it again. I keep hearing it compared to the Harry Potter movies, as any movie with children-centered stories will be for quite some time to come, but I admit I didn't notice anything Potter-ish about it, except that it has a young boy as the lead. I recommend it.Movie Review: Enjoyable and Worth the Watch!
Summary: 4 Stars
On a whim, I bought this film from the "Previously Viewed" rack at Blockbuster--and I wasn't disappointed! I have not read the novel, so taking it on its merits as a film alone, it's an enjoyable and well-crafted piece of work. The score is beautiful, the characters are well acted without exception, the story is engaging, the action is gripping, and the production design is intriguing. This is well worth the watch, particularly if you're a fan of the fantasy-meets-real-world story. And stories about the battle of good and evil (in this case, light and dark) never get old!Movie Review: Compact and delicious
Summary: 4 Stars
What I really liked about this movie is that they didn't take forever to tell the story. Rarely do you find a good fantasy film that is less than 2 hours in length. The fast pace of the film probably did glaze over intricate plot points that could've been explored. The story of a young boy drawn into a world that he had no idea existed, only to find out that it is up to him to save both the world that he knows and the new world that he has been introduced to. I've never read the book so I'm not able to compare the two, but in my opinion it is definitely worth watching.Movie Review: You get what you see
Summary: 4 Stars
This item was purchased as a gift as my husband worked on the film. The condition it comes in is of course perfect and the film itself is what you would expect. It is a childrens film and it meets all of the set criteria for a children's film. It is a little more serious and directed at the slightly older more developed child, but an enjoyable watch for the entire family.
