Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Trailer
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Synopsis
April O'Neil, a reporter for Channel 6 news in New York, has been researching a gang called the Foot Clan which has been terrorizing the city. She questions a dock worker about shipments of chemicals that may be linked to the Foot Clan. April eventually learns that something is being brought in by the docks. That night, she returns and sees the Foot Clan unloading cargo. April tries to record footage using her phone, but a shadowy figure arrives and takes out the Foot Soldiers one by one. She tells her coworkers and her boss, but no one believes her story.
The Foot Clan next attacks a subway station. April rushes to the scene, hoping to encounter the vigilante (or at least find evidence confirming his existence). She sees four figures this time, who disappear after defeating the Foot Clan. She follows them to a rooftop and tries to photograph them. The Turtles Leonardo, Michelangelo, Donatello, and Raphael notice her and delete the camera's images, warning her not to divulge their existence. She asks them who they are as they leave, and they say, "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles."
April runs home and opens a box filled with documents, pictures, and videos on "Project Renaissance", which involved her now-deceased father. She notices that the turtles she cared for from her father's laboratory fifteen years earlier seem similar to the Ninja Turtles. She recalls that her father was developing some type of mutagen. She continues researching and eventually realizes that the Ninja Turtles are the turtles from the laboratory.
Once again, she tries to convince her boss, Bernadette Thompson, that the Turtles are real. Bernadette becomes so infuriated that she fires April. April tries telling cameraman Vernon (who has a crush on her) about them, but he does not believe her either. He does agree to take her to the old laboratory, though. There she finds her father's lab partner, Eric Sacks.
April tells him about the Ninja Turtles, showing him the photos. Sacks explains Project Renaissance: he and her father were cultivating the mutagen for its healing properties. Sacks theorizes that, when the laboratory was destroyed, the mutagen must have somehow caused the turtles to mutate into humanoids.
Meanwhile in the sewers, the Turtles tell their master, Splinter, that April has spotted them. Splinter orders them to find April and bring her to their lair, as she is now in great danger from the Foot Clan since she made contact with the Turtles.
The Turtles find April and blindfold her so she won't know their lair's location. They take her to Splinter, who explains how she saved their lives years before when she rescued them from the fire and released them into the sewers. April admits that she has told her father's associate about them, unaware that Sacks is actually allied with the Foot Clan's leader, The Shredder.
Meanwhile, Sacks relays the information to Shredder. Shredder and Sacks plan to spread a deadly virus throughout New York, causing a quarantine, in order to seize control by offering the mutagen as a cure. Shredder needs to kidnap the Turtles and extract the mutagen from their blood.
He and his gang find Splinter and the Turtles in the sewers, and a battle ensues. Shredder kidnaps Leonardo, Donatello, and Michelangelo, and leaves Splinter severely injured. Raphael is not captured as the Foot Clan believes that he has been killed in the fight. April (who has managed to hide during the melee) tries to dig Splinter out from under the rubble. Raphael emerges and helps. April then tries to tend to Splinter's wounds. Splinter instructs Raphael and April to save the other three Turtles before Shredder can extract the mutagen from them. April calls Vernon to give them a ride to the laboratory where the other three Turtles are being held.
When they arrive, April frees the Turtles, who join Raphael in fighting Shredder, but Shredder defeats them again and escapes. April, the Turtles, and Vernon escape to the Turtles' lair to regroup.
The Turtles plan to attack Shredder on the rooftop of Sacks' building before he is able to release the toxin, while April and Vernon search for the mutagen inside the building. April finds it and heads onto the rooftop to give it to the Turtles. With Aprils help, the Turtles finally defeat Shredder, who falls off the roof. After the Turtles retreat to the sewers, Shredder is seen touching the mutagen.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Movie Review
All of us did watch Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles cartoon when we are the kid. And now it's came out with the human real-life movie. The overall storyline can be accepted and you might feel dizzy when it's come to the fighting part. You are not recommended to watch in 3D or you might feel dizzy. The moral values from the movie is not matter what happened, we shouldn't give up. April always doing the research about Foot Clan and Ninja Turtles, she still continue doing her research although no one believe her story. Besides that, the Turtles cooperate to defeat The Shredder. Finally, they defeated The Shredder.
