The Lost Medallion
Starring

With
Alex Kendrick ■ Mark Decascos
Archaeologist Dr. Michael Stone looked for the lost medallion his entire life, and now his son Billy has taken up the search. Amazingly, the medallion ends up in Billy's hands and a spontaneous wish in a precarious situation takes Billy and his best friend Allie, back 200 years to what they realize is a very different Aumakua Island. When Billy and his friends are not jumping off waterfalls, avoiding animal traps, crossing the ocean, sneaking through caves or escaping a prison they're facing their nemesis Cobra, who wants nothing more than for them all to disappear. With no other way to get home, and the wellbeing of the entire island resting on his shoulders, Billy must discover the key to reclaiming the medallion and its tremendous power. One way or another, this adventure will change Billy, and life on the island, forever. An adventure movie for the whole family! I started this movie with no idea what it would be, kinda thought it would turn out to be a cheesy kids flick. You know, I got a bit of a surprise out of this one. Sure, parts were a little corny, but I was pleasantly surprised at the quality. The acting was pretty good, storyline was face-paced and kept you guessing what twists and turns would happen next, the filming was also pretty good. If your kids are in-between VeggieTales stages, little kids love the shows and then it is uncool until they are teenagers and start liking Bob and Larry again, this might just be the show for them. There is a lot of action and even some scary scenes, reminded me of a mildly Christian version of Indiana Jones really, but it is also full of valuable lessons for the entire family. Themes such as love, sacrifice, friendship, humility, bravery, are scattered throughout the story. And the ultimate lesson of them all is that to God there are no accidental people, He has created each of us for a purpose, and it is up to us fulfill that purpose. This is not an out-and-out Christian movie, time travel, wishes, and magic are mixed with a strong belief in God the Creator. Lessons for the entire family are not preached but instead are interwoven into the storyline. This movie is a great choice for parents of both boys and girls that are about 12 or so years old. Grab some popcorn, sit back, and watch this movie with your kids. . 97 Minutes | Principal Cast Billy Unger ... Billy Stone Sammi Hanratty ... Allie James Hong ... Faleaka Jansen Panettiere ...
