All Clara (Mackenzie Foy) wants is a key, a one-of-a-kind key that will unlock a box that holds a priceless gift from her late mother. A golden thread, presented to her at godfather Drosselmeyer's (Morgan Freeman's) annual holiday party, leads her to the coveted key which promptly disappears into a strange and mysterious parallel world. It's there that Clara encounters a soldier named Phillip (Jayden Fowora-Knight), a gang of mice, and the regents who preside over three Realms: Land of Snowflakes, Land of Flowers, and Land of Sweets. Clara and Phillip must brave the ominous Fourth Realm, home to the tyrant Mother Ginger (Dame Helen Mirren), to retrieve Clara's key and hopefully return harmony to the unstable world.
Leave your thoughts about The Nutcracker and the Four Realms.
| Quad City Times (Davenport, IA)Linda CookIt's an oddball fantasy, not the familiar ballet, in a reimagining reminiscent of "Treasure Planet." |
| New StatesmanVictoria Smith (Gloswitch)At times it has the feel of a computer game: cross the bridge, open the gates, jump off the wall, beat the boss. Only characters in computer games tend to be more unpredictable, with more than one twist. |
| Daily Journal (Kankakee, IL)Pamela PowellA magnificent reimagining of the classic Christmas tale filled with beauty and magic, but most importantly, it's a tale that gives strength, power and intelligence to the lead character, a girl, Clara. |
| TheWrapAlonso DuraldeMaybe it was the massive reshoots — directorial credit is shared by Lasse Hallstrom, who shot the first go-round, and Joe Johnston — or perhaps the script by first-timer Ashleigh Powell was always muddled and convoluted, but the results are singularly dispiriting. |
| Cleveland Plain DealerMichael HeatonUnfortunately, if the story and script aren't compelling, all you're left with are baubles, bangles and pretty sets and costumes with nowhere to go. |
| Detroit NewsAdam GrahamThe unruly, incoherent "The Nutcracker and the Four Realms" is like an explosion of special effects and set design in search of a story. |
| ColliderMatt GoldbergIf you're looking for a movie that's going to help get you in the holiday spirit in an unexpected way, then you ought to give this movie a chance. |
| Solzy at the MoviesDanielle SolzmanWhile The Nutcracker and The Four Realms re-imagines the story for a new generation, some things are better left untouched. |
| Washington PostMichael O'SullivanIn the end, “Nutcracker” is a delightfully old-school diversion. The plot may not always hum with the clockwork precision of one of Drosselmeyer’s mechanical toys, but like a music box, it nevertheless plays a sweet tune. |
| Salt Lake TribuneSean P. MeansLike the theatrical production that inspired it, this movie is destined to become a viewing option for families for many Christmases to come. |
