The film is about a young boy that is having dreams about an alternative reality where a tower that holds the darkness of the universe at bay is trying to be destroyed. His family think that the dreams and how shaken he is by them is mental strain from losing his father at some point before the timeline of the film. He soon realises that his dreams are not just that, as he finds his dreams becoming reality.I was disappointed by this film, not because it's a bad film but just because it wasn't what I thought it would be through having watched the trailers. It's much more kid orientated than I thought it would be. The story is interesting and so are the characters. There are moments when it is a little more intense but nothing major. The trailer is more intense than any of the film is. Idris Elba is always good so can't really go wrong with casting him, and same with Mathew McConaughey. Tom Taylor plays the main character of Jake Chambers, he is kind of over shined by Elba and McConaughey though.
Overall, I don't have an awful lot to say about this film after I was disappointed but it's not a bad film. Honestly, for kids and teens I think that this would be really enjoyable much like the Percy Jackson film series is. However, the trailers are really misleading as to who the audience for the film is supposed to be, which ultimately lead to my disappointment.
As always thank you for reading, although I doubt that this review is going to help anyone that much. But still thank you for reading and I hope you come back next week.
