Stardust

The sleepy English village of Wall is so named for the cobblestone wall that has, for eons, kept the villagers safely apart form the supernatural parallel universe that lies just on the other side. It is here that young Tristan Thorne makes a wild-eyed promise to the prettiest girl in the village, whose heart he hopes to win: that he will bring her back a fallen star. Now, in order to make good on his promise, Tristan will have to cross the forbidden wall, and enter a mysterious kingdom lit by unending magic and unfolding legends. In this fantastical realm known as Stormhold, Tristan discovers that the fallen star is not at all what he expected but a spirited young woman injured by her cosmic tumble. Now, she is in terrible danger--sought after by colossal powers including the King's scheming sons for whom only she can secure the throne; and a chillingly powerful witch desperate to use the star to achieve eternal youth and beauty. As Tristan sets out to protect the star and bring her back to his beloved on the other side of the wall, he encounters with a pirate captain and a shady trader, among other surprises. But if he can survive, Tristan will also uncover the secret key to his own identity and a fate beyond his wildest dreams.

This really is a must see. Most reviews I read were quite favorable, but didn't explain it very well. Now I see why. Outlining the plot would require re-printing large chunks of the screenplay. Comparisons don't work very well, either. Some reviewers said it was in the flavor of Princess Bride. For me there was more than a dash of the computer game Myst in the varied aspects of the magical world. Lot's of funny bits, but funny in an adult way - best of Shrek, Ghostbusters?

It really is unique, and worthwhile. The theaters showing it should be full, but aren't. They may be, if word gets around. Meanwhile it seems that early adopters will get their pick of seats.
