Movie Reviews of Starchaser - Legend of Orin

Movie Review: Stinks
Summary: 1 Stars

The reason so many people link the plot of this film to "Star Wars" is that it came out on the heels of the popular space epic to capitalize on its success. The plot is nearly identical to "Star Wars" in so many ways that it is laughable. Unfortunately, I saw this as an adult critic while I was living in Los Angeles. Had I seen it as a child in 1985, I might feel differently. In 3-D, it was like watching pieces of cardboard held in front of other pieces of cardboard. The jokes are a little too overt and wisecracking for even diehard science fictions like me. However, children would find the film entertaining.

As a person who loves both animated films and science fiction, I would not put this feature very high on my list of recommended films. If you like science fiction and animation, try "Howl's Moving Castle" or other films by Hayao Miyazaki. The Japanese are far more original and their animation is spectacular. He won the second Academy Award in the catagory of Animated Feature for "Spirited Away."
