When he fought against Morgana, Balthazar has locked the two witches in prison shaped doll. Maxim is also locked in it. Balthazar task now is to find descendants who will fight Morgana Merlin has unimaginable power.
Year of change but Balthazar is still waiting for Merlin's heir to the clan of this until one day he met a young man named Dave Stutler (Jay Baruchel who turned out to be the next generation of Merlin Unfortunately,. The meeting was also released from prison and now Maxim Balthazar have to wait until Dave and adult ready to inherit the magic Merlin.
Old themes in new technologies is one business that is often taken by the filmmakers. The proof, how many movies with similar themes and the proof is also a producer willing to finance such films. Sorcerer's Apprentice also offers old theme is wrapped in a visualization, realistic modern. Unfortunately, these efforts are not offset by other components which also formed the backbone of the film.
Created based on the poem by Goethe, written in 1797, lasted 110 minutes screenplay is done by many authors. There are at least seven names mentioned in the playwright and also could be what makes this film so that it's lost its way. The storyline of this film is no longer follow the path described modification of Goethe, but in fact the story did not make this movie so memorable.
Another problem is not the emergence of the atmosphere of 'tense' although it was reported 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 seems more interested in Becky Barnes, played by Teresa Palmer to be honest although there are key to the success of this film.
In the tradition of Disney movies, magic has always been a core problem and can not help but Dave age teens who are not interested to learn to do something magical as taught by Balthazar. As a result, chemistry between the characters played by Nicolas Cage and Jay Baruchel actually not even formed. Even if there is an interesting fact is Alfred Molina act which serves as Maxim Horvath. It seems, once again, Cage stuck on the wrong role despite the fact that the ability of this actor is more than enough.
