Modern and mythical worlds collide in a heroic epic adventure when Percy Jackson & The Olympians: The Lightning Thief arrives on Blu-ray Disc and DVD June 29 from Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment. Based on the popular book series by Rick Riordan, the film follows trouble-prone Percy Jackson who finds himself having problems in high school? but that’s the least of his challenges. It’s the 21st century, but the gods of Mount Olympus have walked out of the pages of his Greek mythology texts and into his life, and they?re not happy ? Zeus? lightning bolt has been stolen, and Percy is the prime suspect. Learning he is the son of Poseidon, the young teen finds himself caught between angry and battling gods, and embarks on a cross-country adventure to catch the true lightning thief and unravel a mystery more powerful than the gods themselves.
Directed by Chris Columbus (first two Harry Potter films), Percy Jackson & The Olympians: The Lightning Thief stars rising star Logan Lerman (?Jack & Bobby?), and features an ensemble cast including Rosario Dawson (Seven Pounds), Steve Coogan (Night At The Museum films), Uma Thurman (Kill Bill films), Pierce Brosnan (The Thomas Crown Affair, James Bond films), Catherine Keener (Where The Wild Things Are), and Kevin McKidd (?Grey’s Anatomy?). The Percy Jackson & The Olympians: The Lightning Thief Blu-ray includes over an hour of special features, 10 deleted scenes, a ?Secrets of the Gods? featurette, an ?On Set? with Brandon T. Jackson, and much more. The standard DVD includes five deleted scenes, ?Bringing The Book To Life? featurette and a ?Discover Your Powers? quiz.
I adore Greek Mythology and I totally get into these kinds of movies. So of course I jumped on the chance when offered to review this one! It was a total epic tale like I’ve never sen before. The graphics were just phenomenal. The graphics for Medusa’s hair alone were just insane!
We sat down and watched this whole movie as a family and the kids really got into it just as much as we did. We all followed Percy on his quest of finding out who his father is and what exactly that means for him. We watched him travel to the underworld to defeat Hades and save his mother.
Percy Jackson & The Olympians: The Lightning Thief is definitely a must see for the whole family!
