Brief synopsis of Neverending Story - Vol. 2 - The Gift

Bastian Balthazar Bux returns in this re-telling of the popular fantasy novel that spawned a hit movie franchise. Bastian, a lonely schoolboy alienated from his father and bullied by his classmates, retreats to an attic where he becomes engrossed in a book entitled THE NEVERENDING STORY. It is the tale of a magical kingdom appropriately named Fantasia, since it is a world born of human fantasies. However, as humanity loses faith in the power of imagination, the once-thriving Fantasia is being destroyed by great storms of Nothingness. Soon, Bastian becomes quite literally involved in the story when a young warrior realizes that Bastian is the only hope for Fantasia and pulls him in to the book to help fight against Nothingness. THE GIFT is part 2 of 4 feature-length episodes, each of which can stand alone as separate films.

Rated - 1 starsWhat a heap of rubbish.

If I had a child or even if I was a child, I wouldn't watch this or subject anyone elses child to it.

After following the original 'Neverending Story', I expected SO much more... actually, I expected something.

Boring, rubbish, and I'm not even going to rent the third in the series!

Rated - 3 starsNot that bad!

I disagree with a lot of the comments that this was terrible. Granted it is not in the same league as the original films, but I don't think it was supposed to be. Both of my children were glued (ages 6 and 8) and can't wait for the next one.

Although there are several elements of the plot that are completely new, this series does introduce some more of the elements from the book that were missed out of the original films.

All in all I'd say this is something the kids will enjoy, and it's certainly no worse than the second of the original trilogy.

It kind of reminded me of a channel 5 production - something like 'the tribe'
