Newline Pan's Labyrinth (Blu-ray) From acclaimed director Guillermo Del Toro ("Blade 2", "Hellboy") comes a dark supernatural epic about the ultimate battle between good and evil. When young Ofelia and her mother go to live with her new step-father on a rural military outpost, she finds herself in a world of unimaginable cruelty. Soon Ofelia finds the creatures of her imagination in which she used to escape have become a reality and she must battle them to save both her mother and herself. In the terrifying battle that ensues, Ofelia soon learns that innocence has a power that evil cannot imagine.

Del Toro's Best Film So Far!

This is a wonderful film that includes magic, mysticism, and terror of a war. A girl whose mother marries a Spanish fascist tries to cope with her stepfather's brutal personality, a servant's assistance to the resistance and her mother's poor health. The magic helps project a world that is much safer and comforting than the real world. A very moving movie and I just love it. The extended DVD provides much more than the film and the extras are good.

Depth

Not all people will get this film. It requires person to see the meaning behind the pictures & one should pay close attention that what happens and when. Especially the end of this movie is misunderstood by many.

Give it time, space & Your attention.

A movie for those who don't like fantasy movies

I love that this movie combined historical fiction with fantasy. It's definitely a movie for people who don't like fantasy movies. My sister HATES fantasy movies like harry potter and lord of the rings, but by the time she watched half of 'pan's labyrinth', she said 'wow, this movie is great!'. I myself have watched it three times this week alone!

Even though the movie is in Spanish, you don't get bogged down by subtitles. It's easy to follow, and you could probably understand what's going on without even reading the subtitles most of the time.

It's an excellent movie - give it a try!

A Hi-Def Masterpiece!

Firstly, if you have not seen this film, go and rent it from your local video store.

If you have seen this movie, you will know that to see it on Blu-ray is a must.

The detail is what makes these sorts of films so amazing, and detail is shown like no other in this film. The story has the hint of 'Little Red Riding Hood' but is much darker and not for children.

This is Del Toro's masterpiece and I am very excited to hear that he is writing 'The Hobbit'.

This is a must have for any blu-ray collector!

A fairy tale movie but for adults only

The confusing part of this movie is whether it was made for kids or for adults. Certainly it wasn't for kids because then they'd have to watch all the gory stuff. But then if it was a movie for adults then they'd have to watch all the Alice in Wonderland stuff. Even this portion contains gory and frightening stuff. Wonder how the kid in these scenes isn't scared or show any fear. The pluses are the lovely color and music but the slow, mellow pace of the fantasy parts of the movie confirmed that there will not be any "bang" or shocker scenes. Sergi López i Ayats as Captain Vidal reminded me of Ralph Fiennes's role in Schindler's List and he did well. Mercedes, the maid did tuck her knife well in her dress and I wondered why they kept showing that scene. This was also my second movie where they actually show the shooting of a child to death. The first was the notorious and violent, 1972 film, "The Wrath of God" starring a very young Frank Langella in a negative role.
