What's it about: Chants, spells, wizards, goblins and magical wands are usually synonymous with the Harry Potter films. The Sorcerer's Apprentice aims at the same audience with a slightly urban story. Balthazar Blake (Nicolas Cage) is a sorcerer with a very bad wig defending his city from obvious enemies. Along the way he stumbles upon his to-be prot ufffdg ufffd Dave (Baruchel) with whom he forms an alliance to battle the bad guys. Through the film we are given discourses on black magic, tricks to combat them and anything that will excite the CGI guys to show off their graphic wizardry.
