It's impossible to ignore it because it captures one's attention and heart. While watching the movie, one can feel deeply involved in the story as much as Bastian does. It's amazing how one gets involved into the story. Not to mention details like the sky full of stars and no clouds and when the sky has clouds. Nevertheless, it is another precious help to give magic and beauty to the film. On the other hand, the storm called "The Nothing" is spectacular but slightly creepy. The beauty of the Ivory Tower palace, the golden of the Sphinxes and the blue of the Southern Oracle are also magical details about this movie, among many others. The movie is promising since the very beginning, with those stunning, dazzling and colorful clouds, which bring it a magical touch. Atreyu is a different kind of hero: a true hero child, which is unusual and amazing. Atreyu, Bastian and the Childlike Empress are all terrific kids. Koreander, the eccentric and amusing gnomes Engywook and Urgl, Cairon and especially Atreyu (and his horse Artax), Bastian and the Childlike Empress. ![]() Other interesting characters are the somewhat rude Nighthob, Teeny Weeny, the hilariously typically grumpy old man Mr. ![]() He also has a great sense of humor and his dog-like appearance makes him irresistible. I like Falkor very much: he's so big, so cool, so fluffy, so cute and so friendly. There are strange and fantastic creatures such as the Racing Snail, the creepy Gmork, Morla the ancient one, the friendly Rockbiter (a gentle giant), the Sleepy Bat and Falkor the luckdragon. The movie is thrilling, very involving, exciting, great fun, contains lots of adventure, danger, strong suspense, darkness, drama, strong emotions, fantastic and strange creatures, interesting and well developed characters and a great cast. Another great song is Limahl's "Never Ending Story", as well as the two lovely Tami Stronach's singles "Fairy Queen" and "Riding on a Rainbow". ![]() It's so 80's and I very much welcome that. Another major strength is the wonderful soundtrack, work of Giorgio Moroder and Klaus Doldinger, with that genial synthpop orientation. The rich production is notorious in so many ways: the gorgeous settings and landscapes/sceneries the amazing special effects, visual effects and blue-screen effects the magic the spectacular combination of sounds, which impress even more if heard loud the music. A stunning and unique movie with this fantastic feeling and the feeling of being something "out-of-this-world". "The NeverEnding Story" is a truly remarkable movie experience. ![]()
