A mythologically-infused adventure quest with a reluctant hero archetype straight from the notes of Joseph Campbell, Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters works as a delivery vehicle for unabashed B-movie pleasures aimed squarely at the preteen set. A solid sequel to 2010’s Percy Jackson & The Olympians: The Lightning Thief, this predictably plotted but nonetheless fun and engaging offering harks back to matinee serials of yore, where moderated, all-ages peril and derring-do were the name of the game. Several of the youthful performances favor a certain demonstrativeness that doesn’t linger much on the brain. Lorgan Lerman (above left), though, ably embodies Percy’s can-do spirit and awakening, while Nathan Fillion in particular serves up a wry, winning supporting turn.
