I truly enjoy fantasy films and was expecting such. BUT, this was so much more! I was TOTALLY mesmerized by the costumes, lighting and performance. I have seen a bit of ballet in my 70+ years, but this was AMAZING! The story started as a WWII air raid and ended in, literally, a blaze of light. I strongly encourage parents to insure their children see this movie. The fantasy evolves into an extremely enjoyable ballet performance that is very easy to follow because of the narration. What a wonderful introduction to this genre of dance. I am so glad i watched it!!!

4.8Plot summary
England, 1940: When bombs trap eight children in the cellar of their orphanage, their teacher, Miss Shaw, reads them a story. As the tale unfolds, they are magically transported to a timeless, mythical island, where they witness the story of Darkness and Light, and of how their union and their conflict produced the Iris Warriors, the seven colours of the rainbow which imbue the world with colour. As the candles burn low and bombs continue to fall around them, Darkness, like a black widow spider, seeks on the destruction of her colourful children. Miss Shaw and the orphans begin to fear that neither they nor the Iris Warriors will survive the encroaching darkness.

What a GREAT way to tell a story!

One can certainly see what the gist is but also the joining of a story to a performance doesn't really work in this instance.
I'm left thinking that it should be one or the other, a story or a performance of dance.
Its also hurried and rushed, so very matter of fact and scripted.

not for everyone...
But surtainly a smashing blockbuster for everybody that love the art of movement with music, namely ballett, i dont know which balletensemble acts out here, but you wont come nearer to a royal ballet than this on a silverscreen. I am surtainly not a ballerina fan but this was actually beautiful and view worthy.
The dance is superb, the score smashing, the vfx and special effects enchanting, and the use of colours light and shadow will mesmerize you for 80 minutes.
The story is aimed for children( and old children 60+),the story surrounds the topic of ''the creation'' with or without any religious or politicalgoals, a story narrated by ms sybil from downtown abbey, a beautiful actress with a vivid and fairytailenbalming voice that will block out any disturbancies and makes your ability to tunnelview from the pinpoint of the big bang to the end of living daylights, a story that will make your fantasy spin off, and without much doubt i will call this film a delicassy of a cultural sweetened independent filmaking of high technical standard.
So let your iris become sore of the warriors of light, dark and colours and feed your corona fatigue due to shutdowns and quaranteens, this is food for the squemish among us, and of course the grumpy old man. A recommend.
