Disney Revives and Retells a Classic
PostedJuly 17, 2010

The original Sorcerer's Apprentice was the animated short featuring Mickey Mouse, a budding Apprentice under the watchful gaze of his master. This new retelling, featuring the talents of Nicholas Cage and Alfred Molina, brings a new life into the title and completely turns the animated short on its ear.
However, Disney and Bruckheimer only made it even better, giving a new life to the title and even made reference in itself to the original, while making further references to pop culture at the same time. Without spoiling the movie, I can't quite go into detail of where all the references are, but most folks will pick right up on them.
The film itself showed great promise in the trailers and it certainly did NOT fail to give us what we were hoping for. The entire movie had me riveted to my seat, glued in place by the very magic Disney had hoped to achieve. There's plenty of magic and adventure in this film and, while I could argue that the song choices that were woven in could have been better, overall, the incidental music tracks were perfect for each scene.
Without a doubt, I would recommend this movie for most everyone, save for the very young expecting something less explosive.

Boldly Going Where The Series Could Never Expect

To start, this is NOT the Star Trek that everyone would remember. In fact, history in itself has been re-written by the entire film. Not to spoil anything, I shall refrain from even describing why. However, the film itself pays utter homage to its origins, containing lines uttered by the immortal cast headed by Shatner, Neemoy, Kelley, Takei, Nichols, Doohan and Koenig. Everything is modernized, well as modernized as the props and effects can be for a plot set more than 200 years in our future. There is a bit of humor, hearing some of these legendary lines uttered by this new cast, bringing a good sense of nostalgia to the film.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
