Filippo F. O @RT57400181 2d I truly wanted to love this movie. Didn't know anything about it, started watching with the most blank state of mind conceivable. Slow start - then picking up, loved the acting. THEN, for whatever reason, it all went down to absurdity, the acting fell, the scenes pace fell, the plot was lost (was even there EVER a plot? So many strings remain open - but open in the sense of just purely undeveloped - absurd), we were just looking at each other failing to understand what was this film about from half onward. WOW what a major disappointment. John Rhys gives a stunning performance, but he does so in a vacuum, at some point. Immensely disappointed. Time wasted.

You just have to sit back and go with it, just what we need in this world today. There are too many mind numbing action shooting, slaughtering everyone movies out there now that Starbright is a fairytale of hope. The cinematography and music together with the performances were also great, Alexandra Dowling was amazing, a beautiful and talented actress.

It has a universal message of hope and self-belief, which in this day and age is something we all need. The characters are very engaging, and the story is exciting, romantic and full of adventure! While everyone is entitled to their opinions about all films on this platform, I find the comments from certain people about this film cruel, unkind and totally uncalled for. This film is about love! There is nothing hateful about it! Your comments are obviously designed to be inflammatory; they have no credence in my eyes, because nothing you have said relates to the film itself. I question whether you have even watched it. See more Angela B @RT93262752 Apr 2 It's nice to go watch a film without a dystopian and hopeless feeling. One of my favourite characters is Raphael, he has the perfect balance of humour and lightheartedness. The Cinematography is captivating and beautiful, you care for the characters especially Joshua and Aisling, who take you on this journey of self discovery, Lastly the music is beautiful, sweeping and epic creating the mood and tone of the story, all and all StarBright has brought back the Fantasy genre in a big way! See more John F @MovieLoverJF Apr 2 This was indeed a pleasant surprise. I read a critic’s review saying Starbright had been in development hell for years. This made me curious to enough to give the movie a chance after all, it survived development hell! It is a movie reminiscent of bygone days, where story and characters are more vital than action. The beautiful cinematography reminded me of Close Encounters of the Third kind, with some spectacular settings. The music is at times haunting and epic adding to the majesty of the film. Starbright is over two hours, but you become invested in the adventure, and time flies by. The messages of the film are a powerful display of the desire to keep hope alive. Starbright is tempered with fantasy, romance, action and humor, combing these seamlessly to create a fantastic movie, well worth watching. See more Read all reviews
