The movie they showed was good.

Rating: 6/10 (8 February 2007)

I'll never say "it was a bad movie". That being said, this is not the movie I bought a ticket for. From the trailers you expect to have your mind blown with stunning visuals and almost uninterrupted imagination. Having seen the directors other films it just seemed logical that this film would not disappoint those expectations. This just was not the case. The story centers around an oppressed Spain at the hands of a ruthless military leader; complete with resistance, spies, and an effect on personal life. Oh, and as a side note, the leader's daughter goes on a quest to uncover a magical secret. This last only occupying a possible 1/8 of the movie. Our appetites were wet and we were fed nibbles. That being said, the movie was good with nice visuals we just wanted more. A lot more.
