A small town named Wall, harbours a human population. The inhabitants of Wall are not permitted to cross the village wall and move to the other side, a magical world known as Stormhold, of which the humans have no knowledge. Tristan's (Cox) father once managed to cross the wall and fell in love with a slave, Una (Magowan). Una gave birth to Thristen and sent him to his father for safe-keeping. An older Tristan makes a promise with Victoria, the village beauty, that if he brings her back a star, she would marry him. Meanwhile, the king of Stormhold is aging and needs to select an heir. The prince that finds the kings medallion will be the heir. The medallion lands on the neck of a star which falls back in Stormhold. The star, Yvaine (Danes) is a young, bright girl with radiant beauty. Septimus (Strong) the last of the surviving princes, learns about the star and is in pursuit for her. Una leaves Tristan a letter which tells him of a way to reach her, but he instead lands up next to the star. Three aging witches need the heart of star if they want to revive their youth. Lamia (Pfieffer), one of the witches, goes on a hunt for the star. Three persons, each with a different motive, want the star for some use or another. The movie has a very slow start and the plot takes some time getting used to. One might like the movie if he/she is a Lord of the Rings fan, although the movie isn't as good.
Thumbs up: Good plot
Thumbs down: Slow start, needs more action and thrills
Rating: 7.6/10
