Synopsis: Modern and mythical worlds collide in this thunderous fantasy-adventure starring Pierce Brosnan, Kevin McKidd and Uma Thurman as you’ve never seen them before! Percy Jackson is no ordinary teenager...he’s just learned he’s the son of Poseidon and is accused of stealing Zeus’ ­lightning bolt – the most powerful weapon ever created! With storm clouds brewing, Percy embarks on an incredible cross-country journey to prove his innocence, recover the bolt and prevent a war amongst the gods that could destroy our world!

Review: The Percy Jackson book series is amongst the most popular with kids.  There are five main novels and four companion books.  Now, the first film, the Lightning Thief, has been turned into a feature film.  We're taking a look at the Blu-Ray + DVD combo pack today.

This film is a mesh of ancient mythology with the modern day world.  Its a great quality film with some wonderful acting, great storyline and inspiring lessons.  Its a great film for kids 10 or older.  This movie is one of those fantasy epics that you saw a lot back in the 1980s.  I wish there were more of these out there.  What sets this apart from other similar films, like Harry Potter, is the creatures within.  Percy Jackson is a bit creepier for little ones, so parents beware. 

The film looks amazing on blu-ray.  Its rich with special effects that really pop on the screen.  The combo pack is perfect, because you can give the kids the DVD and keep the blu-ray in nice condition.
