Wonderful use of cinematic imagination

Rating: 10/10 (25 November 2006)

Not going to write much. Other than to comment on how much I enjoyed the exceptional imagining that created this movie. It is a rare movie that you leave the cinema and do not wish for any more detail or story. This was a complete movie and a complete story. The mixture of real life horror with the fantastical world was truly inspired. The effects were incredibly realistic and had me squirm as much as look on in awe. The acting and casting was perfect in every instance. Ivana Baquero was fantastic as the young girl who is caught so easily into a potentially dangerous and magical world, as the real world she is forced to be in is such a horrific war torn environment. Overall I recommend this to anyone who claims to love movies.
