Description:
Filled with magical characters, thrilling action and spectacular visual effects, The Seeker is an epic fantasy adventure the whole family will love! During Christmas break from school, a seemingly typical teenager discovers he's anything but ordinary. As the seventh son of a seventh son, Will Stanton is The Seeker - a chosen warrior destined to restore the delicate earthly balance between Light and Dark. Guided by ancient protectors of the Light, young Will must travel through time to gather the hidden signs that hold the ultimate power to protect the world.
Amazon.com:
Developing one's self confidence is difficult for most 14-year-olds, and doubly so for Will Stanton (Alexander Ludwig, The Sandlot 3: Heading Home) who's recently moved to England and has just begun his first year of study as an American overseas. Feeling shy and inadequate in school as well as amongst his five brothers and one sister, Will becomes increasingly confounded when he starts to see strange visions including a sinister horseman (Christopher Eccleston) who demands Will give him some sort of sign which he knows absolutely nothing about. Befriended by four elders of the local community (Ian McShane, Frances Conroy, Jim Piddock, and James Cosmo) who turn out to be 'Old Ones' from ages past, Will learns that his destiny is as a seeker who must travel through time to collect six ancient signs that will somehow enable light to triumph over darkness and save the world as he knows it. As Will discovers that he possesses hidden powers and struggles to learn to control them in order to accomplish his quest, he is racked with insecurity and self-doubt. In the end, Will's inner strength will be tested to the extreme as will his relationship with both family and friends.
While based on Susan Cooper's The Dark is Rising, this movie is significantly different from the book: Will's age and family circumstances have been changed, the role of the Old Ones in Will's education about his powers is much diminished, the six signs are less religiously symbolic, and the treatment of the final battle between light and dark is markedly different. Nonetheless, The Seeker is a suspense-filled, action-packed 94-minutes brimming with great special effects comparable to The Bridge to Terabithia and the Lord of the Rings Trilogy that's immensely appealing to viewers ages 10 and older. --Tami Horiuchi

Rating:  - disappointing
After watching *Spiderwick Chronicles* and "Golden Compass*, I thought I was in for a treat with *The Seeker*.Whoo, boy, was I wrong.I couldn't wait for the movie to be over.
Will, unknown unto himself, is destined to be a seeker, saving the world from darkness with light.The Old Ones, fearing that darkness is on the offense, make themselves known to Will and guide throught a "crash course" with the retrieval of six signs.These six signs will save the world from the dark force. ...

Rating: - You Just Can't Beat The Lord Of The Rings, Guys...
The Sucker ...I mean THE SEEKER: THE DARK IS RISING is one of those putrid fantasy flicks that tries oh-so-hard to piggyback itself off of other successful fantasy films, but fails terribly in almost all departments.
The premise...
Dark and light battle. Dark wins. Light survives. Dark falters. Light wins. Darkness may still be out there waiting to win again. Cool CGI. Actors saying stilted and ridiculous lines. Corny ending. Close curtain.
That's it. Really. ... Read More
Rating:  - Great movie
I have not read these books so I can't compare the story lines; however, I thought this movie was great!The characters are very interesting and the general story was captivating.I would highly recommend this movie to anyone looking for a magical and exciting movie!
Rating: - Worst Fantasy Movie Made
I had been interested in seeing "The Seeker" since I'm usually a fan of fantasy and the film looked like it had promise. Unfortunately, this most certainly was one of the dullest films I've ever seen. The main character (Will I think? I can't even recall) was a Harry Potter-Book 5 knock off full of angst. The climax was so anti-climatic that it was laughable. No character had more than a single-dimension. The plot was confusing and ultimately uninteresting.
