The gods of Olympus are alive in the 21st Century. They still fall in love with mortals and have children who might become great heroes, but most of these children meet horrible fates at the hands of monsters by the age of twelve. Only a few learn the truth of their identity and make it to Half Blood Hill, a Long Island summer camp dedicated to training young demigods. Such is the revelation that launches young Percy Jackson on a quest to help his real father, Poseidon, avert a war among the gods. With the help of Grover the satyr and Annabeth the daughter of Athena, Percy must journey across the United States to catch a thief who has stolen the original weapon of mass destruction - Zeus’ master bolt. Along the way, they face a host of mythological enemies determined to stop them. Most of all, Percy must come to terms with a father he has never known, and an Oracle that has warned him of betrayal by a friend.
Virker veldig inspirert av Harry Potter, så er redd det muligens blir litt barnslig. Men kan selvfølgelig være underholdende likevel.
Er forøvrig Rick Riordan som har skrevet bøkene. Traileren kan sees på www.filmweb.no
Spørs om filmene ihvertfall ikke kommer litt ugunstig, da med Harry Potter og Twilight som de store barne-/ungdomsslagerne for tiden. Men samtidig kan det jo hende at Harry Potterfans som ikke har latt seg imponere av Twilight finner seg noe nytt å lese
