He soon realizes that they are the monsters from his dreams and tries to flee.
Through his visions, Jake is led to Mid-World where he encounters Roland. He tells Jake about Walter who has been kidnapping kids with psychic powers to destroy “Dark Tower”.

Star Performances
The Dark Tower is a film with a diverse cast containing actors from all age groups. But as a child actor, Tom Taylor’s performance deserves to be praised. He portrays the role of Jake Chambers, a devastated kid who has just lost his father and has erratic visions. His role is quite complex for a young actor, but Tom excels all the expectations. Tom’s efforts and determination are visible on screen to the viewers.
Analysis
The Dark Tower is a loose adaptation of the novel of the same name by Stephen King that has quite a fandom. For the readers of the novel, this movie was a disaster. Having read the source material, they felt that half of the characters weren’t even in the film and that it failed to depict the essence of the book. They hated it and that sums up all the negative backlash this piece received.
To an outsider, this movie seemed to be a promising watch. It was a fiction-based film with a clear sense of realism in It. There were multiple worlds and excessive visual effects but somehow it was balanced on screen. The plot execution was pleasing and although the story was basic and overused, the viewers enjoyed it.

Verdict
The Dark Tower is an action thriller with a tinge of mystery and fiction in it. If you have been a fan or reader of the novel, you will surely be disappointed. But, as a standalone and an individual piece, this movie delivers just fine to the audience.
