LIBRARIAN TRILOGY - MOVIE [Blu-ray]

good movies, series good too.

Really enjoyed these movies. I decided to look for them after marathoning the TV series, and this trilogy did not disappoint. It's a bit lower budget than some movies, but not in a distracting way at all. The cast is phenomenal - Noah Wylie, Jane Curtain and Bob Newhart have a wonderful on screen chemistry while delivering witty lines with just the right amount of spunk or deadpan. Any time requiring a bit of geeky recharging is perfect to pop this disc in. The disc itself came in great condition, ran without problems on my laptop, no defects.

I had gotten the TV series and there were enough references to the movie plots that I wanted to see what was going on. These movies are a fun addition to that set. There were a few places that were glaring in their historical inaccuracies - book binding was not the same in King Solomon's time. But apart from that I enjoyed watching them. Someone said that these are a blend of Indiana Jones and Harry Potter and I would say that's an accurate description. All told I really enjoyed these and I would recommend them to anyone that likes semi-realistic fantasy.

This is a two-disc set containing the three Librarians made for TV movies, starring Noah Wyle in his first major post-ER role. Wyle stars a Flynn Carson, a perpetual student with a multitude of pretty useless degrees and no life. Flynn receives an invitation to apply for a job as the librarian at the New York Metropolitan Library. He discovers that the Librarian collects and protects magical and supernatural artifacts like Excaliber, Pandora's Box, and The Ark of the Covenant. In the first movie, The Quest for the Spear, the Spear of Destiny is stolen from the Library, and Flynn and his Guardian, Nicole Noone, (played by Sonya Wagner) have to recover it. In the second movie, Return to King Solomon's Mines, Flynn and an archeologist named Emily Davenport (played by Gabrielle Anwar) must find, and guard the secret of King Solomon's Mine. The third movie, Curse of the Judas Chalice, is set in New Orleans and has a storyline that involves vampires and their version of the Holy Grail. The movies are basically Indiana Jones knockoffs with even more supernatural elements than the Indiana Jones movies, mixed with a love story. In each movie, Flynn ends up falling in love with the female lead (Wagner in the first movie, Anwar in the second, and Stana Katic in the third) during an adventure to find and recover some ancient relic. None of the movies had a huge budget, so the special effects could be a bit cheesy, but I think cheesy was the vibe they were going for. Each of the movies has some extras including deleted scenes and some behind-the-scenes featurettes. The extras run about 15 minutes or less per movie, so none of the movies have an extensive amount of bonus content, but it is there for you. I'd say that the movies are good, but not great. They do have strong supporting casts including Jane Curtin, Bob Newhart (both of whom reprise their roles in the spin-off TV series The Librarians), Kelly Hu, Kyle McLaughlan, Olympia Dukakis, Bruce Davidson, Erick Avari, and more. They do take a lot of suspension of disbelief, but they are generally well-written and acted and some of the storylines carried over into the TV series. I cannot say they will appeal to everyone, but if you generally like action-adventure movies with some fantasy elements mixed in, this is worth watching.

Really enjoy this series. Very pleased with this order. Thanks for the quick delivery.
