This is one of those typical films where some normal nerdy guy becomes the special chosen one to save the world. But this one is different. The audiences are bombarded with fights and effects all throughout.
The magical duels could remind you of something like Voldemort vs Harry or Saruman vs Gandalf, but in a more modernized version. Plus, it's sorcery integrated with science!
The Sorcerer's Apprentice includes a bit of romance and comedy as well. The great effects would make you say "Whoa!" in some parts. Acting-wise, not bad. There's a good mix of the cast. Good choice of soundtrack is a bonus.
Here's the trailer and see what I mean.
