Simply Perfect

I really wanted to like this movie. I feel terribly cynical trashing it, and that's why I'm giving it a middling 5. Actually, I'm giving it a 5 because there were some superb performances.

The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

I really liked this one since there was an all star cast. I loved how there were different legends told from all over Turtle Island. Most of the stories took place in the Plains however the one from the West Coast as well as the one Haudenasaunee story were real cool! Of course, I love Native women and the ones in this one were sexy! Kimberly Guererro is hot as well as Alex Rice. Those were just 2 examples of the gorgeous women.But I'm surprised that this was only a made-for-TV film and not one to go into the mainstream theatres. Were they worried that it wouldn't make it well enough on the big screen or something? Regardless of how much it would make in the box office, I think it should have gone there anyway! It's stupid just to worry about how much money something is going to make without at least giving it a chance first.But... ANYWAYS... excellent one nonetheless. That's why I gave it a perfect 10.

Dreamkeeper shocked me with wonder when I saw it on regular ABC TV a few years ago... many moons ago... how time has flown. I caught only a part of it. I just finally requested it at local video / DVD shop and they have it. I viewed it entirely tonight on DVD. I am so thrilled with Dreamkeeper that I shared in with a project that I am member of --- The Mankind Project New Mexico. I love Native American culture and philosophy. DREAMKEEPER has really done the job of giving the Native American USA message. Dreamkeeper is extremely different and powerful. I may buy copies to give as gifts. How wonderful that Red brothers and sisters have shared this vision with us. How great that an international group of artists have given me this wonderful gift of joy and power.I love that Native Americans have commented on the film and were depicted in such a wonderful manner.

Totally gripping; the story weaves between ancient myths and legends and present day reality. The characters are engaging, the acting is great, and the special effects are phenomenal.I was reminded what special effects are really for - used right, they really bring a story to life, enhance it, engage your imagination and convey more than could be done any other way.This film stayed with me for days. Full of depth, wisdom, action and adventure. a must see.(I also recommend the "making of" that accompanies the movie).

In South Dakota, in an Indian reservation, an old storyteller Indian (August Schellenberger) asks his grandson Shane (Eddie Spears), who is in trouble owing money to some bad guys, to take his old pony and him to Albuquerque to the great powwow, an Indian meeting. While traveling, Grandpa tells mysterious Indian tales of love, friendship and magic and brings his grandson back to the Indian traditions and culture.What a great surprise was watching "Dreamkeeper"! Released on VHS in Brazil, with 167 minutes running time, it is composed by several wonderful mystical Indian tales, with gods, spirits, enchanted horse, evil serpent in a lake, all of them connected through the narrative of the Grandpa to his grandson and with the support of excellent cast and special effects. This feel-good film is a must-see entertainment for the whole family. My vote is eight.Title (Brazil): "Guardião dos Sonhos" ("Dreamkeeeper")Note: On 03 May 2014, I saw this movie again on DVD.
