Chris Martin A TALES FROM EARTHSEA Animation/Visuals – 76.3% Some frames weren’t that visually appealing for me, and I noticed that certain scenes were cut too early, which made them feel a bit abrupt. But despite those flaws, I still found the character animation and backgrounds beautiful. There were moments when the art really stood out, and that helped me stay immersed in the world. Characters – 87.4% At first, I didn’t feel much for the characters. I even felt disconnected early on. But as the story progressed, I started appreciating them more. The villain, in particular, was scary to me. His presence was intense, and how he died left a strong impression on me. I also saw depth in Arren and Therru as their stories unfolded. Storyline – 81.1% Some parts of the story didn’t make sense to me, and there were scenes that felt like they were cut off too soon. Still, the overall story was amazing. What I appreciated most was how it slowly grew on me. I didn’t like it at first, but the more I watched, the more I realized how deep and meaningful it actually was. Music – 100% The music was my favorite part. I loved the song so much that I added it to my Spotify playlist. It gave the movie so much emotion, and it stuck with me even after the credits rolled. The score helped elevate scenes and made the film feel more magical. Total Average – 86.2% In Stars - 4.3/5 Final Thoughts Tales from Earthsea surprised me. It started slow, had confusing parts, and some visuals didn’t land but as I kept watching, it became better and better. The story grew on me, the characters became more interesting, the villain was impactful, and the music was just beautiful. It’s not perfect, but it really left something with me. I’m glad I watched it. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 06/22/25 Full Review Samuel W Fantastic thought provoking film Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/28/25 Full Review Julian H Tales from Earthsea is a film about a boy named Arren going on adventures throughout the vast world made from hundreds of islands. It was a fun movie but I expected better graphics from the anime master’s son Goro Mizayaki. The movie was also extremely boring at times which makes me give this movie a 3.5 out of 5. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/25/25 Full Review Eliza M Despite its unpopularity, and the fact it wasn't faithful enough to the books for most people, this has always been a favorite of mine. If you give it a chance, without comparing it to what was expected of it, this seems a pretty well done movie on it's own. The cinematography does well to capture any mood, and the overall lesson–that all life is worth living because we know it won't last–is very inspiring. Just think of it as a separate story from the orginial, something done from scratch, and it really opens your eyes to its unique charm. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/07/25 Full Review Jakob B A complete failure as an adaptation of the original wizarding world, which featured a way more diverse cast and has a beter resolution to the story. I am convinced this film is worth a watch if you want to see all ghibli films or if you like cool dragons, but if you want a look at the world of Earthsea by Ursula K Le Guin, this isn't worth anything. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 11/28/24 Full Review Audience Member It's honestly baffling to me how much hate this movie gets, it's so well written. Maybe not like the other movies studio Ghibli has come up with but it's so fascinating and me personally I love dragons. Even if they didn't incorporate them as much as I wanted to see, they were still amazing ly intertwined with the film. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/03/24 Full Review Read all reviews
