In a countryside town bordering on a magical land, a young man makes a promise to his beloved that he'll retrieve a fallen star by venturing into the magical realm.
Description
Tristan hopes to win the heart of his beautiful, but shallow love, Victoria. He promises to recover a star that fell somewhere beyond the stony Wall that sets between the mundane England and the fantasy kingdom of Stormhold. So Tristan sets forth on his own journey in Stormhold. Meanwhile in that magical land, the dying king has set his four surviving sons on a quest for the crown. And the witch Lamia is seeking the heart of the star for an entirely different purpose, one that involves her secret power.

A boy goes to a fantasy world and meets a fallen star.
2.5/4 (Okay).
A romantic-comedy fairy-tale adventure story - I should love this. This should be one of my favorite movies. The fact that I barely enjoy it is a testament to just how incompetent a director Matthew Vaughn is.
