Running Time: 118 minutes
This movie is about a dyslexic teenage boy who finds out that he is the son of a Greek god named Poseidon. Percy Jackson is played by Logan Lerman. Percy goes through the movie with Brandon Jackson who plays as Grover Underwood and Alexandra Daddario who plays as Annabeth Chase. Grover is Percy’s protector, and Annabeth is the daughter of Athena, the goddess of wisdom and war craft.
The three teens are on a quest to the underworld to save Percy’s mother from Hades and explain that Percy is not the lightening thief. In order to escape the underworld they need to follow a map provided to them by Luke to find 3 perils that will allow them to escape the underworld.
On the quest to find the perils they are met with several obstacles. The first one is a garden where Medusa tricks people and turns them to stone. The teens manage to behead Medusa and steal the peril from her bracelet. They take her head with them in case they need to turn someone into stone.
The next obstacle is a hydras which is a 5 headed dragon that grows 2 heads for each 1 that gets cut off. The beast ends up as a ten headed creature. They did manage to stop it by using Medusa’s head and turning it into stone.
The third peril was located in the Lotus hotel and casino in Las Vegas. This was an odd place because they had a signature dish called the lotus flower. This flower made people forget why they are there and some people were confused enough to be there for years because of the lotus flowers. This last peril delayed the kids 5 days but they eventually got out. The last step on the map was Hades.
I liked this movie a lot. I went to it in theaters and watched it on DVD just recently. It is a very good movie and I would recommend it to anyone.
