Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters
Description
The magical, mythical adventures of teenager Percy Jackson
– son of the Greek god Poseidon – continue in this heroic, action-packed
thrill ride! Out to prove he’s not just a “one-quest wonder,” Percy and his
demigod friends embark on an epic, cross-country journey into the treacherous
Sea of Monsters, where they battle terrifying creatures, an army of zombies,
and the ultimate evil. With time running out, Percy must find and bring home
the fabled Golden Fleece, which has the power to save his world… and save US
all! The Percy Jackson series gives Greek mythology a contemporary
reboot as a hesitant young man discovers he’s the only son of the sea god
Poseidon and has supernatural powers and wild adventures thrust upon him. In
Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters, the haven that protects Percy (Logan Lerman)
and other demigods is threatened, potentially leaving them vulnerable to the
titans and monsters that seek to destroy them. Only the healing power of the
legendary Golden Fleece can save them. Clarisse (Leven Rambin), daughter of
war god Ares, is chosen for this quest, but Percy and his friends Annabeth
(Alexandra Daddario) and Grover (Brandon T. Jackson) set out after the Fleece
as well, accompanied by Percy’s unexpected half-brother Tyson (Douglas Smith),
who just happens to be a cyclops. After the lackluster first movie, Percy
Jackson: Sea of Monsters is palpably more energetic and a bit more true to the
books (though some fans may wonder about one particular plot change towards
the end of the movie). Don’t expect much fidelity to the original mythology,
but the narrative zips along and the fights provide suitable spectacle.
Boosting the consistent action are a variety of star cameos, including Stanley
Tucci (The Hunger Games) as Dionysus (or “Mr. D”) and especially Nathan
Fillion (Firefly) as an entrepreneurial Hermes. –Bret Fetzer
