The Science Adventures of Tom & Huck is a film that serves as an unofficial sequel to the Mark Twain classic books, The Adventures of Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn, starring two of his most well-known fictional characters, Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn. The film follows the adventures of these two as well as others with a scientific twist, using scientific laws and principles to avoid danger and get out of various situations.
I believe readers will enjoy the film because of how the scientific principles and laws are explained and demonstrated. For example, when they discuss the law of potential energy (mass x gravity x height) while detecting and avoiding traps in the woods in pursuit of the thief, James Holden. Viewers will also enjoy the film's constant references to the original books and how it serves as an unofficial sequel to the books series for readers of the originals, like myself. This is shown in the opening scene, where the narrator, Huckleberry Finn, discusses his and Tom Sawyer's various adventures and brings the viewer up to speed on what the boys are currently doing. The film's plot is easy to follow, and the scenes concerning scientific laws and principles are well incorporated so that viewers can understand them and also see how they are part of the story. The film shows how people evolve and adapt, as Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn change in their own ways. Tom Sawyer transforms from a troublemaker and ruffian to someone with a promising future as a lawyer, while Huckleberry becomes interested in becoming a writer and moves on from his past and the abuse inflicted by his father.
The film's message is about how a person can move on from their past and learn to make something of themselves regardless of their background.
I give The Science Adventures of Tom & Huck 4.5 out of 5 stars and recommend it for ages 8 to 12. By Oyebisola O., KIDS FIRST!
