Known as The Sun King, Louis XIV (Pierce Brosnan) is the most powerful and influential monarch on the planet. Obsessed with his own mortality and the future of France, Louis turns to his spiritual advisor, Père La Chaise (William Hurt), and the royal physician to help him obtain the key to immortality. Believing a mermaid (Fan Bingbing) contains a force that grants everlasting life, Louis commissions a young sea captain to search the seas and capture the mystical creature. Further complicating his plans is his orphaned daughter, Marie-Josèphe (Kaya Scodelario), who returns to court with an abundance of elegance and an inherent defiance of authority. With a rare solar eclipse approaching, Louis will discover where his daughter's true loyalties lie as he races against time to extract the mermaid's life-giving force.

If you love fantasy movies, then this is a rare find worth every minute to watch. To my surprise, the acting performance by William Hurt and Pierce Brosnan is definitely Oscar worthy for best actors. In addition the friendship-love story that Kaya Scodelario and Benjamin Walker played out was perfect and natural to watch (without sex!!). Love how the director allowed Marie-Josephe and Captain Yves to respect each other first, before they fell in love. When on-screen chemistry takes over between the main characters, the end results are always movie excellence!!

I loved this movie so much! I feel like it has been a long time since i watched a mermaid movie. Well done.

My child loves this movie. Not sure why the poor reviews because it’s not bad.
