Merlin (James A. Stephens), the great wizard had three children: Blake Balthazar (Nicolas Cage), Maxim Horvath (Alfred Molina), and Veronica (Monica Bellucci). Unfortunately, Merlin is one of the students finally chose pro le Fay Morgana (Alice Krige) and betray his teacher. Merlin was killed but before our last breath, this witch had told the Balthazar. Someday Merlin's descendants will appear that will be key to defeat Morgana.
When she was competing against Morgana, Balthazar was successfully locked the two magicians in a doll-shaped prison. Maxim also participate cooped up inside. Balthazar task now is to find descendants of Merlin, which will be against Morgana who have unimaginable power.
Year change but Balthazar is still waiting for Merlin's heir to the clan was until one day he met a young man named Dave Stutler (Jay Baruchel who apparently is the next generation of Merlin. Unfortunately, this meeting is also freed from prison and now Maxim Balthazar who must wait until the adult Dave and ready to inherit the magic Merlin.
Old theme of the new technology is wrapped in one of which is often taken by independent filmmakers. The proof is, how many movies with almost the same theme and the proof is also a producer willing to finance the films. Philosopher's Apprentice also offers old themes wrapped in a modern, realistic visualization. Unfortunately, the effort was not balanced by other components which also became the backbone of a film.
Made based on a poem by Goethe, written in the year 1797, screenplay duration of 110 minutes is taken by many writers. There are at least seven names mentioned in the row could be a playwright and is also what makes this film so seemed to lose direction. This film story line is no longer follow the path described modification of Goethe's story but in reality it did not make this movie so feel worthy to be remembered.
Another problem is not the emergence of the atmosphere 'tense' even told that the fate of the world and all its contents will depend on the success of Balthazar and Dave duo. Dave, played by Jay Baruchel seemed even more interested in Becky Barnes, played by Teresa Palmer to be honest even though there key to the success of this film.
In the tradition of Disney movies, magic has always been the core problem and there can be no teen age Dave was not interested in learning to do something magical as taught by Balthazar. Result, the chemistry between the characters played by Nicolas Cage and Jay Baruchel actually do not even formed. Even if there is an interesting fact is acting Alfred Molina who plays as Maxim Horvath. It seems, again, Cage stuck on the wrong role despite the fact that the ability of this actor is more than enough.
