MusicChat It's complicated... I really like the directing, acting and writing but, there are issues with the way it's shot that I just can't deny. As much as I love the storytelling and the fantastic performance but, there are also certain scenes that didn't need to exist.

Sarita Rafferty There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

fastaxion I had this movie in mind to watch with my son for a while. My 9 year old son was hesitant to watch it but I had a hitch that he would enjoy it, and wow was I right. This is a great family movie to watch with the kiddos. It provides fantasy and action, in an Indiana Jones type of way. We enjoyed this movie and when it ended my son asked when was the second one coming out. I checked and after seeing this one did poorly in the box office I mentioned to him it was unlikely they would make all the trilogy as at first they intended. We are still having our fingers crossed, as for now we will be reading the books. I highly recommend this movie to watch as a family.

ohlins HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS ONE!!! Great action adventure in this film! Well written adventure; a great family film without offensive language or sexual innuendo. Along lines of 3 of our favorite adventure movies, namely National Treasure, A Series of Unfortunate Events, and the Indiana Jones movies; but definitely full of surprises! This had a variety of scenes, all appealing in either their beauty or the curiosity factors they entailed. We felt this was both very well written and acted. It's unusual for me to find a movie that surprises me at all, so this one left me wanting much more. We look forward to a sequel as the end scene here hinted at one. Terrific movie!

gregorioblanco Worst film seen in years... in decades.They took me wrong when seeing the cast, full of people that I respected.Like Sam Neill, Charlie Seen, even Lena Headey....What the hell are they doing in such a s--t like this ?? Hunger ?? It is so ridiculous that you exit ashamed.And, furthermore...they announce a sequel !!! Who's got guts to repeat ?. Please, don't waste your time. Please, don't waste your money. If they say that it is a children film, they must want to keep them in the ignorance forever

TxMike I came across this movie on Netflix streaming movies. Overall I will say it is refreshing to see a PG-rated movie instead of all the R-rated movies that dwell on foul language and sex. This one is just an entertaining adventure, somewhat better than its IMDb rating would indicate.First off I will compare it to the "Indiana Jones" movies, even the "Young Indy" versions. This story is set in 1885, starts in London, and involves a search for a rare and powerful antiquity. Michael Sheen is Charity, and also in disguise becomes the famous magician. He is one of the good guys who want to protect antiquities.Sam Neill is one of the bad guys, as Otto Luger, he wants to get the Midas box for his own selfish motives. As legend has it the Midas box will allow you to turn anything into gold, but it seems it has even more sinister powers.Young actor Aneurin Barnard is the nominal hero, as Mariah Mundi. His escapades to first find his kidnapped younger brother, tracking him to a hotel on an island, then making sure the Midas Box is kept in safe hands, has to remind the viewer of "Indiana Jones."And, in the end he even has a love interest, young and pretty Mella Carron as the newly orphaned Sacha. He met her as she worked in the hotel as a seamstress, when he was posing as a porter. Fun movie, plus the picture and sound track are first-rate. A good, entertaining adventure diversion.
