The Librarian: Return to King Solomon's Mines

I spent my quality Saturday time to watch one movie: The Librarian: Return to King Solomon's Mines. The main reason I watched this movie is because of my friend's strongly recommendation during my birthday celebration that time.



This story is telling about Flynn Carsen (Noah Wyle) as a librarian who protects a secret collection of artifacts. In the beginning, Carsen is assigned his first death-defying mission to protect the world from evildoers, to recover a mystical crytal skull in Utah. At Carsen's birthday party, he meet his father's best friend, Uncle Jerry. Carsen's mother gives him an amulet his father's belonging. Carsen received an parcel from Egypt and there is a scroll inside. When he goes back home, his apartment hass been trashed , he is attacked and his scroll is robbed as well.
This scroll is a map containing clues to the location of King Solomon's Mines. He goes to Morocco to find part of the ky to the scroll.

He meets Emily Davenport (Gabrielle Anwar), an archeologist. They are attacked after discovering a hidden meaning to the amulet which find out where to find the remaining part of the map legend. They go to Gede Province in Kenya.After a ride on a honeymoon tour bus and several more days of hiking, they finally reach a village. Carsen and Emily have find out a connection between Akon code and Biblical Song of Solomon which leads to a romantic interlude. They travel Three Witches Mountain near Mombasa.

They manage to penetrate the caves where Solomon's trasure is hidden. Gold, jewels and other trasures litter the caverns; a huge head of Queen Sheba, carved out of the stone wall. Carsen finds a book resting on a pedestal and realizes that this is the book he is searching. He is so surprise when he knows that his Uncle Jerry is the one who wants to run back time so he can fulfill what he thinks was his destiny. Carsen takes over book and wrestling it from Jerry with the incantation unfinished. When Carsen is about to throw the book into lava pit, he begins to see his father in the pit. Jerry try to convince Carsen that they can change the time together. Emily uses a reflecting spear to shine light on Carsen's amulet which catches his attention. Carsen throws the book into the lava pit and Jerry jumps after it and falls into lava.

How is the fortunatess of Carsen and Emily in the end ? Emily decides to pursue her search for the Queen of Sheba in Tunisia while Carsen backs to New York.
