Storyline
In a suburban fantasy world, two teenage elf brothers, Ian and Barley Lightfoot, go on a journey to discover if there is still a little magic left out there in order to spend one last day with their father, who died when they were too young to remember him. Like any good quest, their journey is filled with magic spells, cryptic maps, impossible obstacles and unimaginable discoveries. When the boys' fearless mom, Laurel, realizes that her sons are missing, she teams up with the legendary winged-lion-scorpion former warrior -- The Manticore -- and heads off to find them. Perilous curses aside, this one magical day could mean more than any of them ever dreamed. —Rotten T.

Did you know
- TriviaOne of the most iconic monsters in Dungeons & Dragons is the gelatinous cube. Imagined by creator E. Gary Gygax himself in the very first edition of Dungeons & Dragons in 1974, the gelatinous cube is a staple foe that players encounter early on in their adventuring. (It has an entry-level challenge rating of "2" in the current version of D&D. That's low.) The cube moves slowly but can be very dangerous once it gets close, as it absorbs victims and slowly digests them while they float helplessly inside.
- GoofsWhen The Manticore is telling Laurel about the curse, she tears off her sleeves to reveal expository tattoos on her arms. However, when Laurel initially asks about the curse, The Manticore's left sleeve is already seen to be torn off as the tattoo is already visible.
- Crazy creditsA nod to a role-playing classic in the closing credits: "Special thanks to the D&D team at Wizards of the Coast for use of The Beholder and The Gelatinous Cube"
- Alternate versionsThe movie is also presented in a 3D version, the IMAX-Enhanced version and the 4DX-Enhanced version.

Age doesn't matter, watch this movie!
It's a fantastic movie! It might fall into cliches but that's what the movie is all about. It brings the sense of epic to the viewer and engage with their feelings. It's well balanced, as the movie emphasizes in the adventure aspect of it but without forgetting comic times as well as really touchy moments were you'll for sure be moved. It's a great movies that will introduce you to some aspects of role playing in a way you probably haven't thought before. Great for both kids and adults.
