00:00Hi, welcome back to Movie Recap Zone. Today, I'm going to explain a 2020 American sci-fi,
00:06action, fantasy movie called, Artemis Fowl. Spoilers ahead. Watch out and take care.
00:12The movie begins with a swarm of reporters waiting outside Fowl Manor while reporting
00:17about the Fowl who has just been arrested for his criminal activities. Not long after,
00:21an accomplice of Artemis Fowl named Mulch Diggums is taken into custody for helping Fowl.
00:26The scene moves to MI6 Red Ford interrogation facility where Mulch is being interrogated by
00:31the authorities. He reveals that he is just a tunneler, thus they should focus on arresting
00:36the talented young boy, Artemis Fowl, who is the brain of the operation. After that,
00:41he tells them the full story of Fowls, as well as a world of fairies that they discovered.
00:46Artemis Fowl is a 12 years old talented and genius boy who lives in Ireland. It is revealed that
00:51Artemis managed to beat the European chess champion, win the architectural competition,
00:55and clone a goat in his childhood. Since he is a very genius boy, he is considered as different
01:01and doesn't get along with his friends at school. He has to meet the school counselor who assumes that
01:05Artemis acts out due to his mother's death or because of the burden of his father's name,
01:10Artemis Fowl, Sr., who is a renowned antique and rarities dealer. Feeling offended, he walks out of
01:16the room. Artemis enjoys his father's companion, who likes to tell stories about fairies,
01:21goblins, and other magical creatures. Unfortunately, Artemis Sr. often leaves his
01:26son alone due to his work demands, but this time he promises Artemis Jr. that his work is coming to
01:31an end. As he departs on his helicopter, he assures his son that he will keep him safe.
01:36The next day, the Fowls butler, Domovoi, receives a call which tells him that Artemis Sr. has been
01:41kidnapped as the boat arrived with no passenger inside it. Meanwhile, Artemis wakes up and sees the
01:47news on the TV, accusing his father as a notorious criminal mastermind who is responsible for the
01:52disappearance of several antiques and rarities all across the world. Domo immediately drags the
01:57son from the TV, who still can't believe that the media labels his father as a criminal.
02:01A few moments later, Artemis receives a call from a mysterious figure called Opal Caboy.
02:07She admits that she is the one who kidnapped his dad and urges Artemis to obtain an artifact
02:11called the Akylos in three days or he will kill the father. Left with no option, Domo takes
02:16Artemis to an underground workspace of his father and the generations before him where
02:20he discovers a lot of weird relics and notes about the fairies' world stored inside there.
02:24Based on the poem Artemis Sr. always reads before sleep, Artemis manages to find his dad's private
02:30journal. At the last page of the journal, a writing states something about a woman who
02:34threatens to kill him and his colleague Beachwood since she knows that they keep the Akylos,
02:38which has to be protected at all cost, even from the fairies themselves. Artemis starts
02:43to believe that the fairies exist. The scene moves to the center of the earth, where Haven City,
02:48the home of the fairies, is actually real and not a fairy tale. It is still revealed that the
02:53fairies are still struggling to find the Akylos. Turns out that Mulch is a dwarf and is sentenced
02:58to 400 years of hard labor due to committing a number of crimes. After that, he meets up with
03:03official Holly Short and asks her to help him out, but she refuses to do so. On the other side,
03:08Opal releases former fairy commander, Brian Cudgeon, from custody and reinstates him to the
03:13commander position while ordering him to bring the Akylos back to her before Artemis does.
03:18Commander Root addresses the issue about the missing Akylos, stating that the artifact must
03:22be recovered before it falls into the wrong hands. Officer Holly then approaches the commander,
03:28asking permission to go to Hill of Terra to investigate her father's disappearance,
03:31but Root denies the request. She advises the officer not to waste her life since she has a bright
03:36future ahead. Foley, fairy tech genius, suddenly spots an unidentified troll on the surface.
03:43Since all the field officers are occupied, Commander Root secretly orders Holly to go to
03:47the surface to identify the creature. She is then ejected through a volcano by using a capsule.
03:53Brian, who now acts as a mole for Opal, questions the commander's decision since Holly is
03:57Beechworth's daughter, a traitor who was accused of stealing the Akylos. Meanwhile on Earth, Dom recruits
04:03his niece, Juliet Butler, to assist Artemis in finding the Akylos. After spending 12 hours of
04:09thorough investigation, Artemis finds a lead at Hill of Terra and plans to capture a fairy that will
04:14be used to help him to understand the fairy's world. Holly flies to a party where she encounters
04:18a giant troll who attempts to eat a girl. She attacks the troll and saves the girl. Although
04:23fairies aren't allowed to use magic on humans, Holly disobeys the rule and treats the girl's wound with
04:28magic. Not long after, a time freeze capsule is deployed to prevent the troll from eating the
04:33humans. They get rid of the troll and wipe the human's mind before putting everything back to
04:38normal. On her way back, Holly takes a slight detour and heads to Hill of Terra, in an attempt to clear
04:43her father's name. Artemis continues reading his father's journal, learning that Beechwood deliberately
04:48handed over the Akylos to him to prevent the enemy, Opal, from gaining access to the fairy's strongest
04:54spell. Holly jumps into Dom's trap and gets captured. Foley tracks Holly's last location to
04:59Foul Manor and the commander immediately sends out every personnel to retrieve Holly before their
05:04identity is revealed. The next day, Holly awakens, finding herself locked up in a cage. Juliet and
05:10Artemis wear special glasses to prevent the fairy from controlling their mind. Artemis tries to negotiate
05:16with Holly, but she threatens him, saying that her people will come to rescue her and fairies don't
05:20negotiate. A time freeze capsule is deployed again while a horde of fairies' army, including Commander
05:26Root, arrive at Foul Manor. Artemis changes his outfit and then shows up with Dom. They are prepared
05:32and fight several fairies' soldiers with Holly's weapon. Dom manages to shoot the time freeze capsule,
05:37destabilizing the time freeze. Root decides to make her way toward the house to negotiate with Artemis.
05:43He welcomes her, offering to free Holly in exchange for the Akylos. After the negotiation,
05:49Artemis talks to Holly, who reveals that Benchwood was her father and their fathers worked together
05:53to protect the Akylos, but Benchwood was framed as the traitor to the fairies. Meanwhile,
05:58Opal reveals his plan to rule both humans and fairies' world with the Akylos since they are
06:03incapable of friendship and coexistence. She adds that he will wipe out all of mankind and restore
06:08fairies to their rightful place. Since the fairies are not allowed to infiltrate the house,
06:12Commander Root decides to release Mulch from custody, who likes to argue and fight with the goblins,
06:17whose skin is fire-resistant, in the cell. Mulch immediately gets transferred to the surface.
06:23Root offers to lighten his sentence if Mulch agrees to help her by digging his way into the
06:27foul manor and retrieving Holly. He agrees to the offer and suddenly transforms into a big-mouthed
06:32dwarf before digging into the house. Upon arrival, Mulch, whose eyes are installed with a camera and
06:37X-ray scanner, manages to find the Akylos hidden inside a safe that is kept behind a picture of Artemis
06:43Sr. Artemis, somehow lets him open it and retrieve the artifact as it is still part of the plan while
06:48he finally decides to release Holly, offering her to work with him. As soon as Mulch opens the safe,
06:53Artemis and Holly confront him and attempt to hide the Akylos from the fairies. However,
06:58they have seen it through Mulch's eye. Cudgeon immediately informs Opal about the discovery and
07:03she orders him to intervene. He gathers the fairies' army while dismissing Commander Root from her duty.
07:08He then sends the captured huge troll, who is injected with a potion to make him stronger and
07:13angrier, to break into the house. Artemis teams up with Dom, Juliet, Holly, and Mulch to protect
07:18the Akylos and fight the enraged troll. Mulch decides to swallow the Akylos where Dom and the
07:24others attempt to distract the monster. After a long and exhausting fight, they manage to trap the
07:29troll by tangling it in a chandelier. However, the monster falls down in the direction of Artemis,
07:34but Dom pushes him out, causing him to be hit by the troll's huge body instead.
07:39The captain orders his men to restore Holly's magic, allowing him to revive Dom from his death.
07:44Meanwhile, the time freeze is collapsing, causing a lot of fairies to get thrown around and forcing
07:49them to retreat from foul manner. The time freeze capsule eventually explodes and everything goes
07:54back to normal. Realizing that her plan is falling apart, Opal decides to kill Artemis'
07:58SR with the dark magic. With the Akylos in their possession, Artemis urges Holly to activate
08:04its magic spell since no human can wield it. They officially become friends and the officer
08:08manages to create a portal to rescue Artemis SR from Opal's hideout before getting consumed by
08:13the dark magic. Artemis finds his father waiting inside his underground workspace where he reveals
08:19to Holly that her dad gave his life to protect the Akylos. He then gives a list of Opal's accomplices
08:24to Holly, hoping that she wants to investigate it and capture them. The officer brings the Akylos
08:29back to Haven City where Commander Root stores it inside a safe place. She conducts an investigation
08:34to seek out Opal and her accomplices. Everyone in the army congratulates Holly for her dedication
08:40and hard work. Meanwhile, Artemis personally calls Opal, threatening her that he will go after her.
08:45After that, he and his dad depart with a helicopter, going to finish some business. At this point,
08:51Mulch finishes his investigation and still refuses to help them apprehend Artemis' fouls. Not long after,
08:57he reveals that he is actually a dwarf and has been swallowing a tracking device,
09:01allowing the fouls to locate him and rescue him from the facility. They then fly away and are ready
09:06for the new challenges ahead. I hope you guys enjoyed this video. Hit that like button if you did,
