Review

George Lucas' fable is like a child's imagination in many ways; there are endless ideas and connections which are not necessarily all that interesting. But Lucas' compelling visuals help create a highly atmospheric picture. Some brilliant segments of old fashioned adventure cover up a sometimes pulp and pretentious narrative.
