Movies don't get better than this.

Rating: 10/10 (6 March 2006)

Castle in the Sky is my favorite Miyazaki film, and is as good as movies can get. The story is very accessible and straightforward. A young boy sees a young girl floating down from the sky. From that point on, the two of them share the coolest, wildest adventure that you can imagine. Actually, it exceeds anything you can imagine. They get chased by bad guys, hook up with air pirates, and eventually arrive at the legendary castle that floats in the sky.
What I really love about this movie is that most of it takes place in the air. The flying machines, and fortresses, and warships were wonderfully inventive.
The animation is not at the same level of brilliance of Miyazaki's later releases, but it will still take your breath away in places.
If you love good old fashioned action adventure films, this is one that you have to see.
