It sounds like a dream come true to be able to spend time with Jason Momoa gallivanting around one's dreams. Fortunately for young audiences everywhere, the actor's most recent movie, Slumberland, is a fun fantasy adventure in which Momoa plays a cunning, horned creature with sharp teeth. Any young person who dared to enter the world of dreams would make the ideal sidekick with his persona. Slumberland, a film by Francis Lawrence, draws inspiration from the comic book, but it falls short of capturing the wonder and whimsy of its inception.

Slumberland, which is based on the Winsor McCay comic strip Little Nemo in Slumberland, depicts Nemo (Marlow Barkely), a small child who journeys through the dreamworld with a satyr-like criminal (Momoa). After her father passes away, she is sent to live with her dull uncle, but quickly discovers that there is more to life than slumber. A boy dreams himself into extraordinary situations in the comic strip; frequently, the dreams start out straightforward before getting stranger as the strip goes on. The New York Herald's publication of the comic strip garnered praise for its inventiveness as well as McCay's creativity and artistry.

Fantasy is a genre where rules and conventions need not apply, and Slumberland does a good job of portraying its emotionally intense plot. Pinar Toprak's whimsical and thematic score, which catches the heart and feeling that Lawrence's direction and David Guion and Michael Handelman's book cannot, comes the closest to truly capturing the delight of the genre. Slumberland has very little enchantment, although it does have some amusement. Marlow Barkley is a gifted young actress who masterfully captures the depths of her character's emotions. Momoa puts on a fantastic performance. It would be ideal if beloved works were faithfully adapted to reflect their creativity and originality, but this is rarely the case.

Slumberland is anything but a snooze fest, but just like most dreams, it will end as quickly as it began.
