It's the 21st century, but the gods of Mount Olympus and assorted monsters have walked out of the pages of high school student Percy Jackson's Greek mythology texts and into his life. And they're not happy: Zeus' lightning bolt has been stolen, and Percy is the prime suspect. Even more troubling is the sudden disappearance of Percy's mother. As Percy finds himself caught between angry and battling gods, he and his friends embark on a cross-country adventure to catch the true lightning thief, save Percy's mom, and unravel a mystery more powerful than the gods themselves.

ah-deng says: 4 / 5 Yet another novel adaption adventurous story after Harry Potter, LOTR and Narnia. Viewers just don't get tired of such huge productions yet predictable stories. Of course, I like such fantasy because I'm a fan of Harry Potter, and also I like the incorporation of Greek mythology to the plot. There are plenty of strong supporting casts and the plot wasn't draggy. Looking forward to the sequel.
