What's it about: The czar of big-budget monster films Jerry Bruckheimer takes a videogame and turns it into a larger-than-life affair.

While Frodo and Sam protected the ring in the Tolkien epic, here a rebellious prince (Jake) joins hands with a princess (Gemma) to protect a magical dagger capable of rewinding time.u00a0

Along the way, he has to expose treacherous plans of family members and battle villains with dark powers. He does all this with his dagger and well-sculpted six-pack abs.
