Review of The NeverEnding Story (1984) by Ryan V — 15 Apr 2012
A young boy (Barret Oliver) escapes from the bullying of his school life with the help of an enchanted fantasy novel. In it, a young warrior named Atreyu (Noah Hathaway) is engaged in a quest to rescue an imperiled teenage empress (Tami Stronach) from the forces of evil.
It turns out, however, that the reader of the novel plays a more active role in the story than most would imagine. This Wolfgang Peterson adaptation of Michael Ende's book was a fiscal disappointment upon its original release, but it has grown in renown among the generation who watched it on TV every Christmas.
Considering that I am repeatedly charmed by the imaginative storytelling of this film, I can firmly say that I am among the rank of file of The Neverending Story's supporters.
