Tales from the Neverending Story: Resurrection

About This Movie

Tales from the Neverending Story: Resurrection dives into a darker realm of fantasy, where the Childlike Empress teeters on the edge of existence. The atmosphere is heavy with a sense of urgency, as young Bastian must navigate both the whimsical and the perilous. It's got this intriguing mix of practical effects that feel both charming and a bit dated, which adds to the film's unique character. The pacing occasionally drags, but it builds a slow-burning tension that draws you in. Themes of imagination and sacrifice run deep, making it more than just a kid's adventure. Some performances feel a tad stiff, yet they contribute to an overall sense of earnestness that’s hard to ignore. Definitely stands out in the lineup of fantasy flicks from its time.
