A fantasy film adapted from Orson Scott’s 1987 novel, Sergey Bodrov’s Seventh Son is mainly targeted at teenagers. In the style of The Giver, The Maze Runner and Divergent, the coming-of-age movie is now a classic genre. Entertaining without being really great, its recipe is simple: cast big stars on their way down ( Julianne Moore, Jeff Bridges, etc.), write a simplistic screenplay, and mix together. The result is entertainment for a wide audience. No spices necessary.
