Plot summary

When the digital-mad Benjamin turns 18, he inherits a box of ancient artefacts from his missing father. He gives an antique book to Slien, a girl he has his eye on, and unintentionally sets off a chain reaction. An old man called Zeppos is also very interested in the book, which once belonged to the cartographer Mercator. Using the secret messages in Mercator's book, the trio uncover a mystery, while having to stay one step ahead of a shadowy rival.

Movie in search of target audience

The Mercator Trail never stood a chance. A young adult film based on a tv series from the 60s that nobody under the age of 55 has ever seen. An older audience will be immediately turned off by the excessive use of technology and the complete reworking of the Zeppos myth. A younger audience will be turned off by the fact that it's based on a show their grandparents used to watch.A shame really: If director Douglas Boswell (who made the excellent and similar Labyrinthus) had only removed the Zeppos moniker he would have gotten a fine adventure picture. Part Dan Brown mystery / part Indiana Jones. Carry Goosens was inspired casting for the role of Zeppos and Koen De Bouw is clearly having a ball as the baddie of the show. I'm not so convinced by our leading man Nathan Naenen who seems to have gone to the Rupert Grint school of acting. Anyway, The Mercator Trail deserves a chance- it's good clean family entertainment with something in it for all. Oh, and the post credits sting...all I can say is: A shame that it's not gonna happen!

Fantastic movie

If you are from Belgium go see it. It's fun for young adults and the whole family. It's full of jokes and little references to classic adventure movies. You will love it.
