Movie Reviews of The NeverEnding Story

Movie Review: "Nothing" less than extraordinary.
Summary: 5 Stars

Watching any of the Lord of the Ring movies before viewing this film first should be against the law. "The Neverending Story" was one of the first titles I added to my DVD collection, and one of the first films I remember enjoying as a child. "The Neverending Story" incorporates all of the elements of the classic imaginary tales that came before it, like the wonderful "Wizard of Oz," with it's memorable characters who embody objects and animals from our everyday lives (my favorite was the "rock biter"), and it sets the standard for the blockbuster tales what would come after it, like the Lord of the Rings and Harry Poter movies, with it's tale of a young hero set out to achieve a great task and save the world. It would be unfair to compare the graphics and special effects of "The Neverending Story" with that of "The Lord of the Rings," but what this film does a better job of in my opinion, is tie the book in with the movie. The actual story might not be exact, but the way Sebastian was included directly into the film as the reader of the story being told is something a director might not be able to get away with in today's movie market. This is a must see for young viewers as it is for the most part kid-friendly.

Summary of The NeverEnding Story

Wolfgang Petersen (In the Line of Fire) made his first English-language film with this 1984 fantasy about a boy (Barret Oliver) visualizing the stories of a book he's reading. The imagined tale involves another boy, a warrior (Noah Hathaway), and his efforts to save the empire of Fantasia from a nemesis called the Nothing. Whether or not the scenario sticks in the memory, what does linger are the unique effects, which are not quite like anything else. Plenty of good fairy-tale characters and memorable scenes, and the film even encourages kids to read. --Tom Keogh

A young boy named Bastian borrows a mysterious ornately-bound book that takes him into the fantastic world of Fantasia.
