Kien Navarro Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

Frances Chung Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

Nicole I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

Talia_the_StoryMaker My family checked this out due to being somewhat interested in Christian films, being, well, Christians and all. What we discovered was a movie that's only really for kids. If you don't have a young kid (like, 8-12 or so), there's really no point in watching it, except maybe for a light chuckle. The production values are generally good, but it's quite cheesy and extremely clichéd, with a villain named King Cobra, a stereotypical mentor character, having to look for the answer INSIDE yourself, etc. If you're too old for it, it might be a bit painful.As for the Christianity, it does all right, I guess. It's not as overt as some, and it's certainly not that deep, but there were clearly some signs of it and the film is family-friendly and whatnot overall.

neiljones1981 Having found The Lost Medallion on Sky On-Demand, I thought it was worth a watch. Many favourite films are found in this way by accident.This film is essentially a kid's version of Indiana Jones, featuring quite a few staples from Indiana Jones as well. In its original form (without the foster home sequences), the film comes across as a wannabe Goonies clone. The addition of the foster home sequences turns the sequence of events into another character's story, upon which a Christian faith theme is sprinkled throughout.The basic premise (common to films like these aimed at pre-teens) is good guys and bad guys are both after the same thing. Who will out? Watch the film and find out.Name wise, Billy Unger plays the character of Billy Stone. Unger appears to play this role naturally, in a style that suggests he (as Billy Stone) knows what he's doing. This is a good performance, as Unger manages to avoid falling into the trap of being annoying. The other main character is that of Allie, played by Sammi Hanratty. Again, also a sound performance from her which also doesn't tick any of the "annoying" boxes.The only real "annoying" character is the wannabe king, Huko (Jansen Panettiere), but this is through a character flaw of Huko, who is an arrogant spoiled brat, so far up himself that he can't see his flaw.Perhaps the biggest names in this movie are Mark Dacascos (Hawaii Five-O and Mighty Morphin Power Rangers) and veteran actor James Hong (hundreds of other productions inc. MacGyver, Jackie Chan Adventures and Mr Ping in Kung Fu Panda).This is a good flick to watch - it may be aimed at kids but it's fully watchable by anybody. Well recommended.

slcparks Turned this on for 'movie night' with my 4 and 6 year old. I was purposely avoiding yet another cartoon movie and found it on Netflix. After a slow intro, it grabbed their attention and held it throughout. I quickly noticed the Christian overtones which I appreciated, and the kids did too. At the end of the movie, the kids were asking to watch it again and I was very happy with my choice, as I enjoyed it as well. It is what it is - it's not Indiana Jones - but it's a great film for a very tough audience for whom moral AND entertaining movies are difficult to find. As an aside, the King Cobra character was scary enough but not too scary. There was a bit of violence but nothing extreme. I didn't notice any language or suggestive situations. I'm hoping for more movies like this in the future.

TheBishop34 The film is very entertaining for children I believe partially because they don't typically catch the flaws in acting, plot, writing and overall production as adults have a tendency to do, so I can't recommend it for adults.At its core its fun adventure story with a time spanning story, magical artifact and a villain kids could fear, as the story goes on the kids slowly learn about themselves. My daughter really loves this and watched it three times in as many days. Its ending that a prior poster commented on I guess can catch you a little off guard if you didn't pick it up as the story went along. As it is only occasionally pointed out till then end that this movie is a Christian film. Having said that, I think that nasty response is unnecessary. The film has a good moral story to it that can be appreciated whether you believe in God or not.
