At the edge of the mortal world lies a mystical vortex which leads to the Nine Kingdoms a fantastic land where fairy tales are reinvented... and not with happily-ever-after results! An evil queen (Dianne Wiest) has just doomed Prince Wendell (Daniel Lapaine) to life as a dog. His quest to recapture the throne leads him through a portal to the mythical Tenth Kingdom... Central Park! With the help of ordinary mortals Virginia (Kimberly Williams) and Tony (John Larroquette) they battle evil in a parallel universe of vile trolls goblins and every fairy tale character imaginable.

A desperate man is willing to kill millions in order to return to a magical timeless joy vortex.
It's made of disappointment. The control and writing was in the hands of television producers, and they clearly treated it with the same weight as an episode of one their shows. But if you go in with low expectations, it's still reasonably entertaining. Better than a lot of TNG episodes, worse than the average TOS/TNG cross-over episode. At least it's a type of story that hadn't already been done in a Star Trek movie.
The biggest problem with this movie (and that's really saying something - there are some huge problems with this movie) is the gross mishandling of the characters. They introduce at least a dozen characters in the movie (not counting the three original series characters), as if it were the pilot to a new TV show. If they had done all of those introductions right, the movie would have been two hours long before it even got started. Even as it is, there's no time left for what might otherwise have been an interesting villain to do anything more than push the occasional Destroy Solar System button. Meanwhile Kirk shows up just for the sake of being in the movie, doing nothing relevant to the story. And then there's Data... In a lot of ways his character is the heart and soul of TNG, but this movie takes seven years of development and wedges it, along with a neat-and-tidy resolution to his entire character arc, into less than 10 minutes of gratuitous comic relief.

Jeremy Brett is the best Sherlock Holmes ever--as quirky as he is brilliant, but no eccentricity is gratuitous. All the extraordinary aspects of this extraordinary character are meticulously integrated into the brilliant, fascinating man. Thank you.

Rewatching the Granada tv series, I just have to say Jeremy Brett was absolutely enchanting in the role. He brought so much beauty and magic to the role in the same way as Basil Rathbone and William Gillette. A beautifully talented actor gone too soon.… (mais)
