181 - The Nutcracker and the Four Realms

Published: Dec. 23, 2021, 7:58 p.m.

Just in time for Christmas, we review our third Nutcracker movie in five years, 2018\u2019s The Nutcracker and the Four Realms! Eventually filmmakers will run out of ways to ruin this classic public domain story.

Clara\u2019s (Mackenzie Foy) mom is dead. She and her family are sad. Her dead mom gives her a toy egg with a lock but no key. Clara goes to a Christmas party, talks to a weird scientist Drosselmeyer (Morgan Freeman) and finds herself in another realm (or realms? We\u2019re not entirely sure which realm is what) with a Sugar Plum fairy (Keira Knightley), a Mother Ginger (Helen Mirren), a guy dressed as an 18th century soldier but is just a regular dude but I guess he\u2019s the Nutcracker but his name is Phillip (Jayden Fowora-Knight), and some rats.

There\u2019s something about finding the key, yes the key to the egg but also to a machine that does bad or good things. Some tin soldiers come to life and there\u2019s a clown gang. There\u2019s also some dancing.
