About the movie |
Percy Jackson, son of Poseidon, is accused of stealing Zeus' lightning bolt. Percy and his friends must travel across the United States to gather pearls that will allow them to escape the underworld, which is where they think the bolt is being kept. They need to find the bolt and return it to Zeus to stop a war between the gods. |
My opinion |
Great effects, and a very well done movie. Like most movies made from books, this plot doesn't follow the text exactly, but it stays true to the original concept in the book. |
