Review #44 | Castle in the Sky

There are something special to the Studio Ghibli films, and that can be found in the studio's first imaginative film, Castle in the Sky.

Castle in the Sky, 1986

A young boy and a girl with a magic crystal must race against pirates and foreign agents in a search for a legendary floating castle.

Castle in the Sky is an imaginative compelling animated treat but the running time gets too long and like most sci-fi films go… it does not reach to a satisfying ending. The first act is filled with action and makes us curious about what is going on and then it kind of lags behind.

The world of Laputa is well established and we get to journey through this creative experience. The problem with this movie is that it did great to entertain us all through two hours of amazing shots but fails to come up with a satisfying ending.
