And, of course, he's brought Luggage along, which has a mind of its own. but quite possibly, portentously, its very last. In this, the maiden voyage through Terry Pratchett's divinely and recognizably twisted alternate dimension, the well-meaning but remarkably inept wizard Rincewind encounters something hitherto unknown in the Discworld: a tourist! Twoflower has arrived, Luggage by his side, to take in the sights and, unfortunately, has cast his lot with a most inappropriate tour guide-a decision that could result in Twoflower's becoming not only Discworld's first visitor from elsewhere. In truth, the Discworld is not so different from our own. a flat world sitting on the backs of four elephants who hurtle through space balanced on a giant turtle. In the end this is a family movie, worth watching by itself, and even more with your children (if you happen to have any).The first novel in the hilarious and irreverent Discworld series from New York Times bestselling author Sir Terry Pratchett.Ī writer who has been compared to Mark Twain, Kurt Vonnegut, and Douglas Adams, Sir Terry Pratchett has created a complex, yet zany world filled with a host of unforgettable characters who navigate around a profound fantasy universe, complete with its own set of cultures and rules. You're not defined by your failures and/or successes as perceived by the others. From the Rincewood point of view, it shows that one must have persistence and also that, even in the face of failure, your value doesn't diminish. One may have much fun and learn a lot when he keeps his mind open to new experiences. From the Twoflower point of view, it's a story about having an open mind. And the world description is ironically fun.
The main motivation is very original: following the steps of the first tourist. In the end, this 3-hour movie entertains you the whole time. They practically cross the world in a single adventure, including a journey in "outer space". About the story, it never gets boring, and a lot of things happen to the main characters.
The actors followed this same comical/child-oriented line when playing their roles. It just adds to the comical overall feeling of the film. The customs and environment are in a child-movie style, because of the story's background (it came from a series of books made for children). The outdoor scenes were all well produced, placing the actors in a "real" discworld. The effects are well done, with very high quality computer graphics for a "Made for TV" movie, that won't stand behind theatrical release movies.
