Stardust

About This Movie

Stardust is an interesting blend of drama and sci-fi, exploring the complexities of invention and morality. The film has this unique atmosphere, balancing moments of tension with a playful family-centered vibe. The pacing can feel a bit uneven, especially in the second act, but it does delve into deep themes around the consequences of our creations. The practical effects used to bring the microchip's creations to life give it a charming, albeit sometimes clunky, feel that adds to its distinctive character. Performances are varied; Jared Robinsen as Charlie brings a certain innocence that grounds the narrative, while the adult cast wrestles with their moral dilemmas in a way that feels very relatable. It's not your typical family movie, for sure.

Great for discussions on morality in science. · Features practical effects that evoke nostalgia. · Pacing may challenge some viewers' patience.
