Studio: Warner Home Video Release Date: 03/02/2010 Run time: 102 minutes Rating: PgWolfgang Petersen (In the Line of Fire) made his first English-language film with this 1984 fantasy about a boy (Barret Oliver) visualizing the stories of a book he’s reading. The imagined tale involves another boy, a warrior (Noah Hathaway), and his efforts to save the empire of Fantasia from a nemesis called the Nothing. Whether or not the scenario sticks in the memory, what does linger are the unique effects, which are not quite like anything else. Plenty of good fairy-tale characters and memorable scenes, and the film even encourages kids to read. –Tom Keogh

The story line and characters are average for the genre of the movie. But what really ruined it was the “dragon”. It has to be the worst rendition ever concieved of a dragon, it was a dog stretched out.

How dare they call this the Neverending Story! I mean it ended right. Isn’t that called false advertising. I am very dissapointed, I was expecting to have a continous on going story. The title mislead me from the start. Ok so they marde part 2 but where are the rest of the parts. If it truly is the Neverending story then there should be an infinite number of parts, coming out at regular intervals. I give this 1 star since they won’t let me give a 0, for false advertising and for misleading the public.

Cheesy script, poor acting and [bad] special effects make this movie a total [flop.] I walked out of the theater when it was released.

What a shoddy piece of garbage. Is that kid hanging out in the attic of his school playing with matches? I don’t get it. A big ol’ crybaby, screaming at his book. (Was he caught drawing unicorns in his math book? My god.)
