It has an all star cast, ranging from Robert De Niro as a transvestite captain and Michelle Pfeiffer as a witch, and this is the main catch of the movie, and the main reason why I wanted to see it. It comes across as a children's fantasy film, but it is so much more than that, it is a beautiful love story. Tristan is now the new Noah- Notebook fans will understand.
There are many different little stories going on in this film which all manage to tie up in the end. Claire Danes plays Yvaine, who is a star fallen from the sky. Tristan promises Sienna Miller's character, Victoria, that he will catch that falling star and bring it back to her to show her how much he loves her. Tristan sets off on a journey to find the star. Pfeiffer needs to kill the star to make her young again and a set of knights wants the necklace that Yvaine is wearing. All complicated to explain, but easy to follow.
The film really is enjoyable and a nice family film to watch on a Sunday afternoon. Pfeiffer is the exaggerated villain, which is typical in most childrens films and everyone will be wanting Tristan, a ordinary young boy, to win in the battle against the knights and the witches.
It is a wonderful fantasy film, great scenery and costumes and also a great sense of humour. All around entertainment that I would definitely watch again. Rating: 5/5
