tvsgael2-2 {Exclamation marks at every sentence) I'm watching a movie called SINBAD: THE 5TH VOYAGE, and am astounded by how it was made. They took a typical Harryhausen plot and added creature effects that parody Harryhausen's, only they are computer rather than stop action, but they have a clay like texture even. The other effects are also high class. I'd recommend you give this a look. There's no question that this is a dedicated attempt to create a Harryhausen film without Harryhausen. It's too bad he's not alive to see it. The creatures look like his, not at all like those in the remakes of his other films. Patrick Stewart narrates. It's only 78 minutes long so it moves along sprightly.30 somethings won't like it. They won't get it, because they are expecting creature effects from after 2000 not retro like this. This is where the title of my review applies. My note to the director: Keep making these films because you are truly a fantasy guy who appreciates the greats of the past.

Shane Ball If i could use three words to describe Sinbad fifth voyage, it would have to be: Retro, Fun, and Uniquely Indie....it's a total blast from the past. it moves right along, it's never boring, and the acting was good enough for me to sink my teeth into. This type of film uses the stop motion animation, although some people might find it crude and out dated by today's standards, but I am so sick of the over the top CGI in most movies that I found this very cool to see again. I thought the story was well plotted and well executed , and it's a timeless classic, so i guess it's no surprise it has just been remade.I thought the director shahin solimon did very well considering he was the lead as well. That can not be easy. i would say three thumbs up...great family fun. See it when you get a chance.

alicegreen622 I ignored this film when it first came out in February at theaters. I Read some mixed reviews. There were just too many cool films to see this year. Friends who saw it told me it was cute. Despite it's pretty sincerer cast and attempt to cash in on the mythic quest themes of the old Sinbad movies, it rapidly sunk from sight. But just before it went out of theaters, I decided to check it out, looking for a film appropriate for my 10 year old son. The critics are right. The F/X are clunky, but thats what this film is all about. Don't you people get it? Its fun times with an old friend... Sinbad!! Shahin Sean Solimon was a nice look for Sinbad, he is actually the first one to look the part correctly. ...IT ALL WORKS! The sets? perfectly capture the feelings of a retro Sinbad. There isn't a drop of contemporary thought or commercialism into irony & cynicism. It is a simple GOOD vs EVIL movie, lovingly given to us by the traditional effects made popular by Harryhausen. whats not to love?Form your own opinion, but me as a single mom?? Loved it, and so did little Joey!

Quiles Raymundo I was worried to say the least, after seeing all the bad reviews for the film. So I went into the cinema not expecting a lot if anything as most other reviews are 4's and 3's. Once the film started I was getting into learning about the characters etc.After about 30 minutes the film begins properly and after this point I was on the edge of my seat for the rest of the film. Coming to the end I found it a bit predictable not expecting to be surprised by a sudden plot twist. All though the film was really OK I felt it dragged in certain bits.Buying it on DVD definitely wouldn't be a waste of time.Overall this is a great movie for 16+ and would recommended to anyone.
