The classic tale of the boy who never grows up returns to the big screen in the latest prequel, “Pan“. The fantasy blockbuster stars Garrett Hedlund as Hook, Hugh Jackman as Blackbeard, Rooney Mara as Tiger Lily and newcomer, Levi Miller as Peter and follows the young boy on a journey from being abandoned at an orphanage as a baby to being kidnapped out of his bed twelve years later and whisked off to Neverland where he discovers his ultimate destiny.
Overall, the film has amazing special effects, from the first seen it pulls you into the story and keeps you there. It does answer a lot of questions of how and why Peter ends up in Neverland. The story? That’s a different case. If you look at it as an alternative, it could be quite believable, but from the original Peter Pan standpoint, there are a few minor alterations.
That being said, you should see it for yourself before making the final decision. Pan opens October 9, in theaters and is a great action packed movie for all ages.
