In USA, this is clashed against the highly superior Inception and therefore, it has not earn as much money as it is thought to be. Inception is a great movie with not so straight forward storyline. So there is a movie oppose to Inception, The Sorcerer's Apprentice with its straight forward cliché' story. Singapore is smart to release them in different weeks.
The story: How many times have this kind of 'be a hero and get the girl' premises been in movies. The Sorcerer's Apprentice is the latest movie to feature that. The only thing different is the cool action scenes. With much special effects as enhancement, the action scenes are candy eye which try to replace the cliché' story about a nerd training into an apprentice of a sorcerer and getting the girl he is so mad in love. I had fun seeing the characters whacking out each other with magical balls and powers. Trevor's score is good as usual.
Overall: I guess this is for those who don't like complex movies like Inception which need some thinking. This is a typical blockbuster movie with CGI and action scenes towering over its simple plot. I like it for its brave front of just having cool CGI action scenes to keep the story going. When the movie ended, I felt that I would actually like to see more adventures of them. It is good for what it is. A full-blown CGI action movie.
