4/5
The story is that a man goes into a magical land to retrieve a fallen star (which is a person) but he then finds that he is not the only one who seeks the star, and has to keep her safe. He runs into many challenges along the way (including a cross-dressing sky pirate played by Robert De Niro who I think must have really needed the money to play this role) and his quest changes as he finds himself falling in love with the star.
I thought the movie was a very high budget film which concentrated too much on the special effects than the story itself. Although most other people I know thought it was an amazing story too. I say it was a very high budget film because they have so many great actors (who wouldn’t have come cheap at all), and so much cgi and special effects that would have come to a hell of a lot as well. The story seemed like a bunch of fairytales jumbled together, but it was interesting never the less.
I was surprised that the film ended as it did, it left no open ending for a sequel, which is quite strange for a film of this manor. Other than the surprise the ending was quite pleasant.
