Directors: Lasse Hallstrom

Plot: Clara receives a Nutcracker doll as a Christmas present from her godfather who entrusts her to take good care of it. When the clock strikes midnight, Clara decides to check on the doll, only to suddenly get thrown into a fantastical world. She realises the strange parallel world is home to Land of Snowflakes, Land of Flowers and Land of Sweets, but it is in the ominous Fourth Realm that she finds herself in the middle of a war between gingerbread soldiers and an army of mice.


My Movie Review: The movie is colorful puts you in a world of wonder and early holiday spirit! The Nutcraker And The Four Realms look great in plain sight with impressive visual effects and production design making us feel the classic fantasy yet emotional connection isn't that strong!! Taking us to the gathering without building few character profile and not sufficient back story to Clara's mother which is a Queen wish we saw somehow she reign this place at the very start:0 Sugar Plum Fairy is a pleasant surprise delight with cheerful presence and sweet voice didn't see that she's the villain in the end stepping up her role taking control on gingerbread soldiers:) This tale overall dazzle in pretty princess quest and a little bit of spooky vibe in the fourth realm Mother Ginger live in creep string tent with huge face you get some circus that houses clowns:)

Critics Consensus: The Nutcracker and the Four Realms' is everything that idealistic viewers will expect it to be. Prepare to enter into a world of whimsy, beauty, and creativity. Lacking a transporting yuletide story or dazzling dance routines, The Nutcracker and the Four Realms is a hollow holiday confection that's lovely to look at and easy to forget. The tale is enchanting, though the lack of music is conspicuous and the ending is a little underwhelming. Oh, this film is definitely, different, from all the Nutcrackers you know, but that doesn't really make it a good thing. It creates magical, fantastic scenes that should utterly amaze audiences. All-important emotional bonds between the characters feel thin and scripted. Overstuffed yet half-baked while it boasts impressive individual elements, overall result remain far from the magic it seeks!
