Luke (Dakota Goyo) is a young boy who lives in Alaska. He befriends a polar bear cub named Pizoo, who is separated from his mother. Luke makes it his priority to reunite them despite the dangerous situations that nature has in store. Luke starts off this journey with Muktuk (Goran Visnjic), the man who is blamed for the death of Luke’s father but also known for his intuitive skills in regards to the icy terrains. Muktuk is with Luke and Pizoo until a storm blows him away and the ice diverges, leaving Luke and Pizoo stranded. As Muktuk, Luke’s family, and a rescue team look for Luke, Luke is still making efforts to travel north to complete his mission. Midnight Sun offers an adventurous atmosphere throughout the film and a coming of age theme. Luke is growing up and wants to take responsibility, as Muktuk mentions to Luke’s mom. Roger Spottiswoode excels in warming audience members’ hearts with Luke and Pizoo’s sweet relationship. But we have seen this similar relationship in Ang Lee’s Life of Pi (2012). The world is accustomed to seeing humans having an endearing bond with another species and Midnight Sun is no exception and lacks innovative ideas.
