At the time of this review, I have to admit that I have not read “Mariah Mundi: The Midas Box” by G.P. Taylor, on which this presentation is based. So, all I can go on is what we see.
Lots of nice costumes (designed by Annie Hardinge) and some of my favorite actors, such as Sam Neill. Period piece. But stilted dialogue full of clichés. This is a sophomoric plot; what there is of it. Time passes slowly. The characters are one-dimensional and exaggerated. They did toss in a tad of “Warehouse 13.” There is some good action near the end.
It is not bad if you look at the movie as an after-school special. There are other Mariah books out there. I hope this is not the pilot for “The young librarians.”
