The Otherworld

A lovely indie movie, enjoyable and full of imagination. If you enjoy fantasy this is a good movie for you. It is boiling over with the magic of folklore and has a great soundtrack. Along with wonderful costumes and delightful performances, this is a movie that makes you feel warm inside. You will be inspired to go out to the forest in search of sacred trees and fairies.

This movie has really bad acting, I felt like I was watching a high school play.

This film was a great disappointment. It consists mostly of poorly acted static scenes oddly edited together. There were occasions in the big battle sequence that almost captured fighting, but it was too fleeting to redeem the scene as a whole. Only the soundtrack held any interest at all. If you are looking for Irish folk tales Song of the Sea is vastly superior.

A charming, heartwarming adventure for both the young, and young-at-heart, this offers a fresh perspective on ancient myths and largely succeeds in bringing them to life. Reminiscent of the popular 1980s fantasy Legend, it offers a mixture of humour, romance, heroism and mild peril that is sure to have youngsters spellbound across it's 90-odd minutes. The special effects are good too, with lots of colour and light suitable for the themes involved, and some attractive locations (real and CGI) help bring the tale to life, while the vibrant and evocative Celtic soundtrack provides a stirring backdrop to the tales of derring-do.

Well worth a watch, and guaranteed to keep the kids quiet for an hour or so.

I'm amazed this film has a rating of 5.1 . It's like the director has walked into a hippy camp with a camera and rustled something together , the acting and dialogue are poor , the effects cheap , and the content lacking . It really is terrible , and worth a miss .
