Strengths

The movie's complete strength lies in the CG works .Mind blowing graphics!!!. dogs turning in to cats,giant eagle,dragon etc.. and lots to watch..It feels like real though watching the reel. Graphics is double the delight where the story is wield around the magicians . Oscar winner Nicolas cage played great , fits the character very well with his great modulation and magicians body language. Monica Belluchi, Terasa Palmer and the rest of the cast provide the great support to screenplay.

Music composition blends well with the story. The dialogues are fine. Screen play is sure coated with humor scenes which makes us to enjoy and relax. The photography is Zooooooomm!!
magical ,goes with the characters played in the movie. Chases and stunts are well captured. The national treasure director Jon Turteltaub ...man!!! good job

Weakness

Thousand time told story and some times we guess what is the forthcoming scenes . significant weakness of the movie!!!. The movie mostly focus on 4 to 5 characters, rest left with minor touches. The script writers thoughts were imaginative and good team work with CG still it could have been better.

The Sorcerer's Apprentice is sure graphical treat..It will surprise you when you watch in big screen. Movie strongly recommended for children and graphical entertainer who doesn't mind story/logic

Verdict: 5/10( 2 for CG's,1 for Nicolas and performances, 1 for photography and 1 for screenplay)
Movie canvas punch: Apprentice will mesmerize you with great graphics
