This movie was an absolute pleasure! I liken it to the Princess Bride, so if you enjoyed that style you’ll more than likely love this one too!
You are quickly whisked away into this world of fantasy and adventure. This story is quite unique and very well done…no boring, predicitable bits here!. Young and old will both love this film. Also a great flick for families over the school holidays.
Wayne and I caught this film at the Bean Pipe season (where everyone sits on double sized/ very comfy/ bean bags), and much to my surprise it was very comfy and made a great movie even better. Stardust stars Michelle Pfeiffer, Robert DeNiro, Claire Dannes and Sienna Millar, who were all fanastic and didn’t take away from the fabulous storyline.
Steph’s rating: 8/10

A young man named Tristan (Charlie Cox) tries to win the heart of Victoria (Sienna Miller), the beautiful but cold object of his desire, by going on a quest to retrieve a fallen star. His journey takes him to a mysterious and forbidden land beyond the walls of his village. On his odyssey, Tristan finds the star, which has transformed into a striking girl named Yvaine (Claire Danes). However, Tristan is not the only one seeking the star. Lord Stormhold’s (Peter O’Toole) three living sons not to mention the ghosts of their four dead brothers all need the star as they vie for the throne. Tristan must also overcome the evil witch, Lamia (Michelle Pfeiffer), who needs the star to make her young again. As Tristan battles to survive these threats, encountering a pirate named Captain Shakespeare (Robert De Niro) and a shady trader named Ferdy the Fence (Ricky Gervais) along the way, his quest changes. He must now win the heart of the star for himself as he discovers the meaning of true love
