wonderful adventure, 27 July 2005

I think the folks who didn't like the second half missed the point -- its supposed to show the world falling apart, becoming dull & lifeless... the Rainbow gives power, light, and energy to the Earth. I thought it was a great fantasy movie, especially for kids -- it has an original story, with a wise and timeless moral lesson that is not too heavy handed. The effects are outstanding, especially remember this film is from 1996. The ride inside the rainbow is worth the price of the whole movie. How many of us wish we could go inside that kind of ride? If you're looking for a decent family film without sex, violence, or a puppet show, here's a real film both kids and parents can enjoy... its a good one for everybody

Reminds me of Childhood, 27 June 2011

I used to watch this a few times when I was a child, and it is one of the movies I always think of when I say to myself 'childhood movies'.

It is a fantastic movie, one which can also teach children a moral lesson: 'Do not take what is not yours' and 'If you don't know what it is, leave it alone.'

It is a truly magical tale of finding the ever beautiful and ever colourful Rainbow and what happens to the world when it becomes void of such a beautiful spectacle.

Sadly, the movie is very hard to get a hold of nowadays, but I'd recommend anyone who can find it to watch it ASAP!

another not-so-funny fantasy for kids but there is light here, 29 September 2003

I'd seen this film a few times before and I watched it again in the early hours of this morning. I wanted to watch it not for the dazzling special effects you see in the rainbow or the terrible comic moments I wanted to see the film for essentially it's middle/beginning of the end part. The part when the world starts falling apart - it's the only saving grace in this film. The way they use colours in this part is great. The general distress and anger felt in this part of the film feels bad and cold. When it gets worse this vision of a planet damaged by humans really was the part of the film that could deliver a message, the violence and apathy depicted is sinister to the core. As the world continues to downfall the film gets darker and the faded grey colour of the film in this part is really beautiful, there are some terrific shots of the world in chaos. I can appreciate the film for this part, but the rest is terrible.

So much promise turns to lead, 28 September 2003

Bob Hoskins does the most convincing American accent I've ever heard a British actor do, but directing doesn't seem to come as naturally as dialect. This movie features unattractive leading children, unbelievable school situations, stereotypical 'media' types, and completely fails to persuade even the most credulous that the magic is *there*. Special effects are variable, but generally poor. Unconvincing acting ruins what might have been rather good dialogue. It's a shame. I really, really wanted to like this movie, but there was no there there.

Has anyone ever seen the beauty and wisdom of this film ? It's incredible. Truly breathtaking, visionary ideals in here. And the effects are fantastic! Rainbows, gold, color defecient world. Its all pretty darn cool. Go rent it!

1 of the crappiest/boring movie ever, 4 October 2005

Author: beeble_bee from Australia

*** This review may contain spoilers ***

crap storyline....long story short. Three kids, one of em is called Mike and he has an older brother (who steals 3 gold pieces of prism from the rainbow) and 2 other of Mikey's friends chase a rainbow and travel through the rainbow. By the older brother's greedy action to steal the gold which make part of the structure of the rainbow, it starts to affect their world. Without light, there is no colour, no photosynthesis...no oxygen. This movie is a cross between Pleasantville and War Of The Worlds, but kids' style. This movie bored me to death. Ending was so predictable. Bad stunts and bad acting. Bad concept. Overall..it sucks...it's categorised as comedy. Throughout the movie, i did not laugh. I only laughed once, was when one of Mike's friends, sucked in helium n began 2 speak in that squeaky voice.
