aftertaste : sorcerer’s apprentice

while I’m browsing about the movie sorcerer’s apprentice, I found this movie cover. Is this a kind of a remake?

Today, I & some of my pals supposed to watch inception, AGAIN…. fortunatelly, it was such a perfect timing that we found “sorcerer’s apprentice’ on the now showing list! it was a total coincidence, just like what nicolas cage said to the kid on the film (for those of you who have watched it). It’s not a very important scene, really, but it’s the beginning of all the main story. Meanwhile it was also the end of Balthazar Blake’s quest of finding the prime Melrinian (or the one who inherited the power of the legendary wizard, Merlin) which was discovered an 10-year-old ordinary boy named Dave Stutler. Shortly, balthazar gave the kid a ring, Merlin’s own, which was firstly considered as the source of the mythical power of him.
While Balthazar search on a magic book, Dave touched a layered doll with picture of a bearded man on it, and accidentally broke the first layer. Since each layer of the doll functioned as a seal of evil sorcerers, the first sorcerer was set free. It was Balthazar’s best friend, Horvath, who firstly betrayed Merlin and his apprentices. Horvath had a mission to destroy the last layer which sealed the power of marvelous yet diabolic sorcerer, Morgana, who tried to cast ‘the rising’; a spell which can resurrect all the deaths, and use them as a slave.
Then the days of preparing the prime merlinian to restrain morgana’s evil plan was started..

the first thing of this walt disney picture’s film which caught my attention was the main character, Balthazar, which played by hollywood star, Nicolas Cage. the others looks like fresh actor/actresses for me, such as Jay Baruchel (as Dave), Alfred Molina (as Horvath), and many more. I kind of like the way disney played with those effects of plasmas, fire, and all those transformation, from antique car to a fabulous sport cars and those steel eagles. The story was okay, but like any other disney movies, they mix all the humors, fantasy, and a bit action into one, and the ending was pretty much predictable. after all, it was entertaining enough for me
