The Seeker: The Dark is Rising (2007)

The Seeker: The Dark is Rising

on his 14th birthday, when he is able to detect the signs, Alexander finds out that he is the last of a group of warriors - The Light - who have spent their lives fighting against evil - The Dark. he then travels through time to track down the signs that will enable him to confront the evil forces. i was told the movie was bad. with doubts, i stepped into the cinema. the trailer had been rather interesting for me. i wonder how bad is "bad" being defined here ?? finishing the movie, i gotta strongly disagree !! the movie was nice !! though not superb, but definitely Not in the bad category. it is a children fantasy movie, you can't expect fancy magics n overwhelming actions as in big production like Harry Potter. i used to be a big fan of children fantasy story books. stepping through time, exploring mysterious castles n enchanted forests. the movie is nothing close to be defined as bad. do not trust what you are being told. the greatest adventure here is to experience it yourself ..

  2. yup i gotta agree. the storyline was kinda messed up. spending too much time with the explanation, but not on how he finds the signs. ah well, don't be too fussy with children's story. ;)
