Summary: 3 Stars
When we think about Spielberg, we are aware about yarns, and we tend to assume the ride as cantral part of the show. There have been many copycast but this is probably the most original among the countless scripts that pretend to follow the Spielberg's pattern.
Let's be sincere. The film begins with a breathtaking and unstoppable display of energy. There are many historical aspects in game and the search of this treasure was a guarantee to make us experience a major doses of histamine and creativeness.
But the plot pitifully shifted to commonplaces. Good guys and bad guys. A beautiful girl involved and a web of tied events. But since the document is stolen, it would seem the plot deflated.
Car chases, expected situations to conclude into a scene that doesn't generate major enthusiasm.
I must admit the cast is impressive. Nicolas Cage, Jon Voigt and Harvey Keitel save the movie from sinking.
Needless to say the film promised much more than what really gave.
Description of National Treasure [Blu-ray]
From Jerry Bruckheimer, producer of Pirates Of The Caribbean, comes the definitive National Treasure. Get closer to the edge of your seat with the Collector s Edition Blu-ray of this thrilling adventure starring Academy Award? winners Jon Voight (Best Actor, Coming Home, 1978), and Nicolas Cage (Best Actor, Leaving Las Vegas, 1995) as Benjamin Franklin Gates. Since boyhood, Gates has been obsessed with finding the legendary Knights Templar Treasure, the greatest fortune known to man. As he tries to find and decipher ancient riddles that will lead him to it, Gates is dogged by a ruthless enemy (Sean Bean, The Lord Of The Rings trilogy). Now in a race against time, Gates must steal one of America s most sacred and guarded documents the Declaration of Independence or let it, and a key clue to the mystery, fall into dangerous hands. Heart-pounding chases, close calls and the FBI turn Gates quest into a high-stakes crime caper and the most exciting treasure hunt you ve ever experienced, now with a treasure trove of new special features.Like a Hardy Boys mystery on steroids, National Treasure offers popcorn thrills and enough boyish charm to overcome its rampant silliness. Although it was roundly criticized as a poor man's rip-off of Raiders of the Lost Ark and The Da Vinci Code, it's entertaining on its own ludicrous terms, and Nicolas Cage proves once again that one actor's infectious enthusiasm can compensate for a multitude of movie sins. The contrived plot involves Cage's present-day quest for the ancient treasure of the Knights Templar, kept secret through the ages by Freemasons past and present. Finding the treasure requires the theft of the Declaration of Independence (there are crucial treasure clues on the back, of course!), so you can add "caper comedy" to this Jerry Bruckheimer production's multi-genre appeal. Nobody will ever accuse director Jon Turtletaub of artistic ambition, but you've got to admit he serves up an enjoyable dose of PG-rated entertainment, full of musty clues, skeletons, deep tunnels, and harmless adventure in the old-school tradition. It's a load of hokum, but it's fun hokum, and that makes all the difference. --Jeff Shannon
