Synopsis
In this fantasy adventure based on Cornelia Funke's book, a young girl named Meggie watches as her father causes fictional characters to leap into reality. But a formerly book-bound baddie takes Meggie's dad hostage, and it's up to the junior heroine--and some fictional help--to rescue her father.

Customer Reviews

Good for an evening's entertainment
Although not at the top of my list, Inkheart is entertaining enough for an evening. The acting is somewhat uneven and the picture is not as sharp and 3-D as I would like to see in a Blu-ray DVD. The True HD 5.1 sound is passable, but not spectacular. If you look on the back of the box, the aspect ratio is listed as 1.78: 1. This is in error; it is actually 2.35 or 2.40: 1, which is what I had expected it to be. That means that if you have an anamorphic lens on your projector and a 2.35: 1 screen, you can maximize the impact of the image (sometimes spectacular).

Interesting
Being sf and fantasy films fans, we watched this with interest. We all liked it; the story was very original which is a plus! But it lacked the wow factor or me.

However it was not without its merits, Spot Helen Mirren!

disappointing
Was looking forward to a memorable film with the children, but was disappointed. Even the actors looked as if they were working half- heartedly in their roles, no exception. There have been so few films that I considered to be waste of my money, and this is certainly one of them. One star for the story, but unfortunately it was severely let down by less than average script and acting.
