Movie synopsis

Inspired by the beloved segment of the Walt Disney classic FANTASIA, THE SORCERER'S APPRENTICE moves the setting of the story to modern-day Manhattan, where decidedly average teen Dave Stutler (Jay Baruchel) hones his magical powers under the tutelage of master sorcerer Balthazar Blake (Nicolas Cage). Malevolent wizard Maxim Horvath (Alfred Molina) is determined to claim New York City as his own. And Horvath isn't alone in his diabolical endeavor, because by joining forces with the sinister sorcerer, pop illusionist Drake Stone (Toby Kebbell) aspires to gain powers beyond his wildest imagination. Realizing that he can't take on Horvath and Stone alone, Blake recruits Stutler as his reluctant assistant and begins training him the battle that will determine the fate of the Big Apple. Teresa Palmer and Monica Bellucci co-star.

Movie trailer and editorial reviews

3 stars out of 5 -- "Cage, with long hair and a cheeky attitude, dominates the proceedings with a quirky sense of fun and authority, while Baruchel plays his geeky side and generally succeeds. Best of the bunch, though, are the villains, particularly Molina..."
Box Office - Pete Hammond (07/13/2010)

"The director, Jon Turteltaub, and his several writers devise some clever set pieces, such as a dragon in a Chinatown parade that starts breathing smoke and fire..."
Chicago Sun-Times - Roger Ebert (07/14/2010)

"[Cage] is at his most charismatic...the CGI is spangly fun..."
Entertainment Weekly - Owen Gleiberman (07/23/2010)

3 stars out of 5 -- "THE CG magic certainly pops and crackles, and offers New York as a fantasy-realm as dragons spit flames in Chinatown and a Chrysler Building eagle takes flight."
Empire - Ian Nathan (09/01/2010)

"[The effects] rival that of HARRY POTTER, LORD OF THE RINGS, and every other modern wizard blockbuster."
Premiere (11/30/2008)

Lots of fun from start to finish!,

It's just good movie making, well paced with just the right balance of great characters, charm, action and fantasy, Disney did a fine job with this one. A satisfying story and one of the better movies of recent years. Kids and adults will be entertained,as it's a fun summer romp with one of the best car chases I've seen in a long time. .

The Sorcerer's Apprentice with Nicholas Cage

Created: 20/01/11
Because Nicholas Cage is one of my favorite actors, we decided to rent this movie even though I did not know much about it. This is a great movie to add to any movie library. I like how scenes from Fantasia were worked into the story.
