Inkheart (Movie)

Have you read the book?  I have not, and I am a little curious as to if it is like the movie; how it compares.  I have seen the book out for a while and the movie too, but never really knew much about the story except that the characters come to life from story books.  In the world of weird, this seemed to be a bit so, but the concept intrigues me, and I do like creative things.  This seemed pretty creative to me... and Over time, seeing this over and over and over, I finally decided there were a lot of good reason to watch the film, so I did.

My personal "good" reasons to watch it were:
Intriguing concept and storyline
I kinda like science fiction... fantasy at times,
We bought a new TV recently and need to use it...
The movie is geared towards kids and I was wondering why I have not heard oodles of stuff about it.
Lots of kids and teens have seen it and I thought it would be interesting to see what message it has for audiences.

Well that is just a few I guess, but enough for me...
I thought the movie was pretty scary in the the beginning.  The bad guys looked stereotypically bad, like they about to do VERY bad things, and they were not very nice... but because they didn't actually kill anyone they threatened to, they seemed a bit like they were more bark than bite. 

I liked the fact that the goal of the film was to reunit the family that had been split up do to this problem of people popping out of books.  The love element and family element was keen.

I enjoyed the special effects and I thought the whole thing was rather creative.  When thinking about the movie after watching it, the word used to describe it was Interesting.  It was an interesting film.

One of the mmost interesting things is the obvious references to God, and creators...
and destiny being written and changed or altered. 

Interesting.


To get more details for your own viewing you might want to get some second opinions from others people.  One source that you may find helpful in determining if this is or is not for you is the Inkheart review, at Focus on the Family.  I didn't look at this before I watched this film, but I did afterwards, just to see what they had to say.
