Harry Potter Type Fantasy For Fans Only - The Portable Door review by GI
A pleasant enough Harry Potter type fantasy film based on a series of books. This is an Australian production from Jim Henson's company and boasts a strong cast with Christoph Waltz and Sam Neill giving it their all. Miranda Otto is in the mix too but is rather underused but is riveting when oil screen. The story centres around plain and ordinary Paul ((Patrick Gibson) who somehow gets a job as an intern at a venerable city company where he quickly witnesses rather bizarre things going on and falls for fellow intern Sophie (Sophie Wilde). Going along with all the weirdness he sees he is enamoured when the big boss (Waltz) gives him a secret task to find the door of the title which is missing in the labthyrinth that makes up the building. Magic, wizards, goblins are all here for the Potter fan although the stories a bit laboured and occasionally crosses into dark territory. It's a decent family film for those that like this sort of magical fantasy although I'm not convinced it'll lead to a long series.
