The Water Horse: Legend of the Deep

Three and a half stars (PG)
Alex Etel

Winning fantasy about a Scottish boy (Alex Etel, the little charmer from Millions) who discovers a mysterious egg that hatches into a dragon-like creature that keeps growing and growing. An adventure-filled script with poignant moments, solid performances, beautiful landscapes, a fine score and a convincing creature make up for the overly-familiar Loch Ness monster/ET plot line. Emily Watson, Ben Chaplin and David Morrissey costar. 111 minutes. DVD INFO: In addition to the single-disc release, a two-disc collector’s edition is available that features deleted scenes and six behind-the-scenes featurettes.
