ShangLuda
Admirable film.

It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

Let me start by saying that I liked E.T. I thought Henry Thomas was great in that film. That being said, The Quest was a lame attempt to cash in on Thomas' fading stardom. The story is, a kid named Cody goes on an adventure with his girlfriend, grownups tell him no, he find some great treasure, and everyone is happy in the end. I rented this movie when I was nine and I couldn't even finish it. Even then I thought the movie was bad and I still do. If you happen to come across this in a Blockbuster, keep walking by. You won't be pleasantly surprised. I guess I'll give it two stars, since Henry Thomas is in it, and I feel sorry for him that he took this role.

It's been a very long time since I saw this film. It was called "Frog Dreaming" in Australia. It has a simple, slow rhythm, like in "The Year my Voice Broke". It's not "ET" and its not "Close Encounters", and that's probably what bothers people who pick it up at the video store. Critics hated this film at when it came out at the cinema. I loved it.

Let me start by saying it has been about 8 or 9 years since I last saw the Quest, but I still remember it fondly.Henry Thomas, soon after his performance as "Elliot" in E.T., finds himself living with relatives in Australia after his parents pass on. He soon begins to investigate a local legend called the "Dahnk-a-gin" (or something like that...), a fierce loch-ness-monster style beast living in an old quarry that has been flooded.As a child, I was always very inquisitive and imaginative, and loved to explore old buildings and creepy places, so this movie appealed to me greatly. The area surrounding the flooded quarry is littered with scrap metal, beat up shacks, and a cool broken down 50's car that just call to the exploring spirit.During some scenes, Henry rides the railroad using a modified bicycle that could lock onto the railroad tracks... start pedaling, and off you go! I always wanted one of those...Anyway, check out the Quest, and see if it doesn't sweep you up in it's imaginative spell!

This is one of the most boring movies I have ever seen! I was interested in it when I first rented it, but when I watched it, I almost fell asleep! It's very confusing and it didn't get me very interested. Maybe a couple of parts got me a little interested, but that's all. Mainly, I thought this movie was a total waste of time. Rent it if you want, but I'm warning you, you might regret it...
