Can't really complain for the price. In a cardboard/plastic box. Mine came with the middle tab broken so the DVD is a little scratched from rattling around.
This film has a habit of affecting people deeply in usually very positive ways. No sensible adult would take on that quest. An unlikely genius. who reads about another little boy who takes on a quest with no weapons, no help from anyone, with the anticipation of horrible danger.
When seen in widescreen, the artful German style can be savored. I child would when there is no other choice. Strange creatures and impressive beauty. Here is a fantasy like no other because. this film portrays visually the never-ending framing device that is used in the book. I can say that it saved me in my darkest hour and distributed the very beautiful message to me that creativity is the most powerful force we have against becoming empty "masses of men who lead lives of quiet desperation." The idea of the film and book portrays that of what a true genius is: a creator who if indulges too much in his creation loses himself in his work.
Tenaciousness and creativity in the realm of impossibilities. The NeverEnding Story is your story. a young boy. possible death, and with no chance for success.
A fabulous movie, one of my favorites, though I agree with the transfer criticisms in other reviews.
Highly recommended. My favorite is Falcor, the luck dragon. There is joy and sadness in the movie (which, by the way, does not really follow the book), and you feel every emotion. The NeverEnding Story is one of my favorite movies of all time. (However, I do not recommend the movie sequels 1 & 2). Without him the hero of the story cannot triumph in his quest. It's the story of how Sebastian begins reading a very special book and page by page becomes a part of it. The characters are all magical, as are the sets.
Thanks. Would definitively order from this company again. Received item within same week of ordering. Company was communicative, price was extremely reasonable and delivery time was swift.
