Quite possibly the most beautiful movie this summer.

Rating: 10/10 (22 August 2007)

"Stardust" is, at first glance, a typical fairy tale. A magical world, evil, ugly old witches, all the fairy tale elements. But dig deeper and you'll get a beautiful story of love and heroism. The story: A boy promises to bring back a fallen star for the girl he wants to marry. He crosses "the wall" and finds that the "star" is a beautiful woman. Meanwhile, three witches learn that the star has fallen, and go to get her for their own means. And finally, the remaining sons of the dying king compete to kill their brothers and gain the crown. These three stories come together in a thrilling climax that will have you on the edge of your seat. The previews don't give it its due credit. "Stardust" is an enchanting(if you'll pardon the pun) and exciting movie that the entire family will love.
