Only just 8/10 from mightyzebra

Rating: 8/10 (6 February 2008)

In just about no doubts, this is an entertaining, exciting adventure and fantasy film. But just how many good points are there to it?
1. Even without animation this is good for children (except for a few pieces of CGI to help with the special effects). 2. Some parts are "Tongue in cheek" to entertain adults. 3. There is good acting in this film. 4. The storyline is very well-thought up and convincing. 5. There are many charming and a few heart-wrenching parts of this film.
In what seems to be the Victorian era, a young man walks over a long wall beside his home town and enters an amazing, remarkable whole new world. He meets a slave girl, who calls herself a princess. Nine months later, back in his home town, he receives a baby in a basket and he realises it is from the slave girl over the wall...
Years later, the baby Tristain is nearly a grown man and he is in love with a woman whom he lives near to. They see a shooting star fall from the sky and it lands over the wall and Tristain tells her he will go over the wall to give her the star...
Recommended for children aged 10 and above (because of a few rather tense fighting scenes), this is an entertaining film good for the whole family. It may not be to everyone's standard, although there is likely to be at least one quality which you will admire when you watch it.
Enjoy "Stardust"! :-)
