Tales from Earthsea
(2006)
Directed by Goro
Miyazaki this film inspired by the Earthsea series has English voice
acting from Timothy Dalton, Matt Levin, Blaire Restaneo, Mariksa
Hargitay and Willem Defoe. A prince kills his father the king, takes
his sword and meets a wizard.
This is no a direct
adaptation of any specific novel from the Earthsea series but rather
a mash up of several stories and characters to create something new.
While the story is an entertaining hero's journey there are a lot of
times when it feels like things are never properly explained or left
hanging. Mostly the film is well made but at some points it feels
like the music drowns out the dialogue which is a little annoying as
it mostly happens in high drama moments.
2/5
