Storyline

After retrieving the philosopher's stone at an auction but losing his girlfriend, The Librarian Flynn Carsen has a breakdown. Charlene and Judson ask him to spend some time on vacation. Flynn travels to New Orleans and he has a crush on a French singer (Simone Renoir). However he discloses that she is the guardian of a key to access the Judas Chalice that is capable to resurrect vampires. Meanwhile the former Russian Minister of Defense Sergei Kubichek is seeking the chalice to revive Vlad the vampire with the support of Professor Lazlo. Also to raise an army of undead to bring Russia back to the top of the world. When Simone reveals that she is a vampire, Flynn question whether she is not using him to reach the chalice and increase her power. Written by Claudio Carvalho, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

Goofs

Datura hallucinations are quite different from what is depicted in the film. Although, seeing someone grow an extra finger, for example, is possible, datura is more along the lines of temporary psychosis. The most common hallucinations would be seeing people who aren't there, hearing voices, having conversations with people who aren't there, and seeing inanimate objects move and float. The character in the film would have never been able to remain so coherent after consuming a fairly large datura tincture. In reality, he would be extremely paranoid, probably running from or grabbing at his hallucinations. See more »

Third part of the Librarian trilogy with the likable Noah Wyle and set in New Orleans
23 March 2009 | by See all my reviews

This third installment in the popular ¨The Librarian¨ franchise(1ª: Quest of the spear-2004- by Peter Winther and 2ª: Return to King Salomon's mines-2006- by Frakes) starts with our friend Flynn Carsen(Noah Wyle), he must to encounter the ancient Judas chalice , a silver cup obtained by Judas Iscariote with the thirty coins after the selling Jesuschrist. Meanwhile Flynn is having problems , he just doesn't time for his life and relationship . Watching his young protégé is starting to burn out, Judson(Bob Newhart)gives Carsen a some well deserved holidays. He goes to Bayou New Orleans, the Big easy, he enters a night club where sees a wonderful singer named Simone Renoir(Stana Katic). She identifies as Librarian and asks him for his help.An old scroll once belonging to Vlad Dracul -the famous and four hundred years old vampire- has been robbed from a museum by a Russian band commanded by an ex KGB agent and is rumored that the Judas chalice has the power to bring Prince of Romania back to life. The incredible adventures led them to a vessel where find the remains of the notorious pirate Jean Lafitte.

The mild-mannered Flynn Carsen strikes again with new adventures set on exotic places.The intrepid adventurer/librarian/explorer ,though quite botcher gets his aims after several risks, dangers and uncountable adventures. Flyn is assigned various missions around the world and recover priceless objects guarded into the Metropolitan Library of New York where are the ark of Noe, the fountain of youth, Excalibur or Arturo's blade... Along with Noah Wyle appear the usual secondaries, as a deadpan Bob Newhart, Jane Curtin and Bruce Davison as professor Lazlo, though this time isn't the sympathetic Olympia Dukakis habitually playing as the Flyn's mother. The film is well produced for TV by Dean Devlin(Stargate,Godzilla, Independence day) in partnership with TNT and lively directed by Jonathan Frakes. He's the famous commandant Riker, and an expert director on Sci-Fi genre, as ¨Clockstoppers,ThunderBirds¨ and television episodes: ¨Star Trek, Masters of Sci-Fi,Roswell,Twlight zone¨. Rating: Acceptable and passable, this exciting adventure has all the imagination, magic and silliness this kind of amusing demands.
