Jack the Giant Slayer

Plot

In the medieval kingdom of Cloister, where kingdoms were forged in the fire of war and legends whispered in awe of mythological creatures, Jack, a young farmhand with an uncanny knack for giant-slaying was about to become an unlikely hero. As a squire to the court, Jack has always felt like an outcast, never quite fitting into the traditional mold of a knight. He stands a head shorter than the others, with an awkwardness to his movements, but his physical prowess and innate bravery compensate for his stature. The kingdom is at a fragile peace, having withstood centuries of giant attacks, earning them the respect and admiration of their subjects. But unbeknownst to most, a dark past threatened to jeopardize this uneasy truce. When a young farmhand, in actuality a boy, unwittingly releases the last remaining key needed to open a gateway between the mortal realm and the realm of the giants, it rekindles a fire that has long been smoldering. The gateway, hidden within a magical beanstalk, presents an opportunity for the giants to reclaim their lost kingdom. Their leader, a towering behemoth named Falco, sees the boy's actions as a call to arms and, to rekindle the ancient war that once claimed their ancestral lands. This revival sparks a nightmare for the kingdom of Cloister, with terrorizing invasions, widespread destruction, and loss of innocent life. The reluctant hero Jack finds himself caught in the maelstrom as soldiers hastily seek to eliminate the opening gateway to spare the kingdom. Witnessing the devastating attack, Roland with anger leads his cavalry towards the heart of the lands of Woe, however soon becomes lost in a narrow wendy woods path. He finds himself adrift in a vast expanse of giant-infested woods that seemed altogether more sinister now than ever before. Even so, driven by his unshakeable courage and bravery to unite Cloister's kingdom against their monstrous invaders, Jack decides to not desert yet escape behind enemy forces. Informed by the wise princess Isabelle that on account of prophecy, the brave young squire might just be the one predicted future to vanquish the fearsome giants - that threat to the kingdom. Realizing that fate will be testing what in him he had thought to be an unsnipable resolve; so Jack leaves the very familiar country lanes that sustained by trust, courage and friendships behind his only to venture out so into the woods both heart-wrenching and formidable. During the attack, while becoming trapped, Jack accidentally reopens the gateway and further fuels the invasion by releasing hordes of creatures never seen before by humans. This causes the youth to face his fears, doubts, and insecurities about his place in the world. Once a hesitant farmhand, Jack stands resolute against the odds as the last defender for the kingdom, evoking the legends and stories told about his ancestors. Among his unending journey, Jack finds an ancient archer who has been battling the giants for centuries, but age and ailing have rendered him vulnerable to the attacks of the younger giants. Together, with help from an odd ballerina dwarf named Elusia who later got captured by giant king's guards, and his ability to wield an array of steel tools such as darts, siege crossbows, and arrows, the trio strive against monstrous, unflinching giants and unfruitful conditions so they can get to Cloister castle where Princess Isabelle awaits them. Their perilous adventure is overshadowed by danger – relentless pursuit of being hurt, loss of life, death, at the ultimate risk - confronting Falco, an elder warlord of the upstart. The warriors, as they move into action, clash against an unbroken horde of invincible beasts with force as they get so heavily entangled in matters that once seemed all odds in against them that faltered any prior prospect of living out their dreams of becoming war legends with whom legends were fostered so they would form life in and about our world rather than fight to survive every step.

Chaos gripping the heart of Cloister, King's enshrined rule hanging from an unbroken twig of twisted fate calls out through his courtly chambers he and a huddled group of family and closest friends, so death, lost within days before ever unfolding legend of the timeless kingdom were suddenly to die of and perhaps its also going along, however fate led into fighting so noble battle as kingdom legend only possible to restore still for ages.

The biggest selling point is definitely the animation and special effects; it's quite a visual spectacle to see in the theater. I still maintain that the handsome young male lead should not have ended up with the rather plain-looking princess but should have gotten together with Ewan McGregor's stunningly handsome captain!
