Movie Thoughts - “The Seeker: The Dark Is Rising”
A movie has to be REALLY bad for me to not like it. I liked this movie, however it’s by far not my favorite. As a big fan of Fantasy/SciFi movies, I’ve braved through some really stupid movies, some of which can only hope to be revived through shows like Mystery Science Theater 3000 (which unfortunate for them isn’t on any more). Seeker, had the one element that I always look for when I watch a film: it entertained me.
As a filmmaker, I should probably be more critical of films like this, but the fact remains that when I go to the movies, I go to get lost in the story, and this movie did that for me. It has its moments of greatness, and its moments of “what the….?”. But altogether, the movie’s strengths won me over (Please keep in mind I’m a fan of the SciFi channel, so I have a huge tolerance level for crap movies). I really think I would have liked it a whole lot more when I was a kid though.
I gave it 5 stars out of 10. Do you blame me? I’m a sucker for movies like this.
