Title: Should be owned by everybody
Review: I had the profound privllege of seeing this movie in it's inital theatrical release and have enjoyed it ever since. I am normally not a science-fiction person, but the theatrical special effects in this movie are so well-constructed and implemented that I am always entraced by this particular release.Essentially, a lonely boy faces a humdrum existence until he gets a hold of a magical book and discovers the amazing story inside--and his role as an active participant in at least saving the Empress from the clutches of the nothing. Again, what microscopic holes do exist (how the Empress and the boy are standing in the end if Nothing really has decimated all but one grain of sand in her world) are overshadowed by the vastly superior bulk of the film.
Is the review positive or negative?
