It’s the 21st century, but the gods of Mount Olympus and assorted monsters have walked out of the pages of high school student Percy Jackson’s Greek mythology texts and into his life. And they’re not happy: Zeus’ lightning bolt has been stolen, and Percy is the prime suspect. Even more troubling is the sudden disappearance of Percy’s mother. As Percy adapts to his newly discovered status as a demi-god (his father is Poseidon), he finds himself caught between the battling titans of Mt. Olympus. He and his friends embark on a cross-country adventure to catch the true lightning thief, save Percy’s mom, and unravel a mystery more powerful than the gods themselves.

Recommendation: When I entered the theatre, I had absolutely no expectations. I did not even read the books (which are apparently very popular). I was definitely NOT disappointed! The lead actor (Logan Lerman) was a stand out and had quite impressive acting skills. I also liked the action scenes, and the comedic elements that were added in to the movie. Go see this movie if you like adventure, action, and want to be entertained for two hours! It is a great family film, you won’t be let down!
