(Blu-ray, Disney)
A young girls falls from the sky and floats into the hands of boy. Saved by a crystal she wears around her neck, she is pursued by pirates, soldiers and government agents who want the pendant for their own devious purposes. Apparently it is the key to Laputa, a magical floating island in the sky and home to a lost civilization. Visually stunning but dramatically muddled, with little if any explanation as to what all the hubbub is about. It left me empty and dissatisfied, not to mention fast asleep.
