They definitely could've done better with this movie. The special effects in this movie are pretty subpar, considering even the first one was more convincing. You'll notice right off that Falcor is an animatronic head, and that it's a figurine tied to a string when he flies anywhere. You can also tell when Bastian is replaced with a figurine or when he is behind a green screen. And when I think about how great the effects in Star Wars were, this movie being released ten years later is insulting. This makes me believe this movie was just produced half-heartedly without any real care for the series. Bastian is a pretty good role, and the actor who plays him pulls it off successfully, but Atreyu comes off as a cyborg. I remember watching these movies religiously as a child. When I purchased this movie, I had high hopes. Unfortunately, I was let down.Read full review
The movie has a plot and the moral story is positive. In adversity the boy stands up to trouble and rallies the other to help the people. The boy overcomes his fear by steping out to face them. A good role model is this film. I bought it to help my grand children to learn the importance of not giving up and that nothing is impossible if you believe and have friends who will help and encourage you.
I loved the first one it was one of my childhood favorites ,and I thought this one would be the same as it was ,and it is a amazing fantasy timeless childerns film!! Wanted my childern to experience the wonders of the show in a new era it made me feel like a kid again!!!very good moive I would also recommend the first if you could find it !
I decided to buy The Neverending Story on DVD b/c it was easily available on ebay. I had such an easy time finding what I wanted. I love watching movies that remind me of my childhood, maybe b/c I remember so little of it and want to feel like a kid again. The story of The Neverending Story, where a boy has to use his imagination to keep another world, Fantasia, alive is just so awesome to me. I am writing a series of children's books for my little one and this story of Bastian and Fantasia help my imagination to wonder the possibilities!
This is really great haven’t seen it all but exciting . ThNks Betty looked at it it was great
