Music By: Trevor Rabin
Writers: Lawrence Konner, Mark Rosenthal, Matt Lopez, Doug Miro, Carlo Bernard

Tagline: It's the coolest job ever.
Plot: 
Balthazar Blake (Nicolas Cage),the main Protaganist of the movie is a Master Sorcerer in a Modern day Manhattan trying to save the city from the arch nemesis Maxim Horvath (Alfred Molina),the antagonist evil plans.knowing that he cant do it alone recurits a normal guy Dave Stutler (Baruchel) to fight against darkness.The sorcerer gives his unwilling accomplice a crash course in the art and science of magic.
These unlikely poles now work to stop the spreading of the darkness .Dave masters the magic,saves the city and gets the beautiful girl as price eventualy becoming the ultimate The sorcere's Apprentice.
This is  a rare loosing streak for the mega producer Jerry Bruckheimer(pirrates of carribean and National Treasure) whose recent Flicks "prince of Persia " and "confessions of shapholic " bombed at box office and grabbed some worst reviews.
 He paried up with old buddies of National treasure and made this ultimate movie.

The performances are nothing short of excellent. Jay Baruchel(She's out of my league) does a great job playing his usual "nerdy" character .he competes in everyscene with academy winner Nicolas cage.

This movie would be a great step in his carrer.

Nicolas Cage was as usual at his best with his looks definetly big asset for the movie.

Coming to story part there is a bit clumpsy regular there is no enough develpopment in character.
The story starts off weak and annoying and ends in the same way.
The action sequences have a fresh breath in them.The visuals are good bonus too.


Overall!!!! With a nice, balanced blend of action, adventure and pretty cool special effects. The film takes the viewer on a fun ride, reminiscent of classic Disney fun family fare. And it'd also no doubt leave you laughing out loud at some unexpected moments in dialogue.Perhaps it is would be well received by audience than the Inception which is a bit complex in understanding.

If you enjoyed The National Treasure movies, then you will certainly enjoy The Sorcerer's Apprentice.
Overall:7/10
