Lack of plotting aside, there are plenty of spectacular and enjoyable moments. A trailer for the second part of the series was aired after the main film, and promises much more – with the myriad of loose ends tied up and more action to be expected. This, though, could just be because of the amount left out of the final script, which leaves just the major points behind – Rincewind is guiding Twoflower, and the magical Octavo isn’t too impressed with Rincewind’s expulsion from the Unseen University. The plot, symptomatic of Pratchett’s earlier books especially, is a little weak – there’s little tying the various events together, as excellent as they are, beyond the vague connections holding everything together.
Scenes riding horses and dragons looked a little too blatantly green-screened, too – but it’s nothing that’ll detract from your enjoyment of the film as a whole. The world was fabulous – but the legged luggage, arguably the star of the books, was slightly amateurish, which sadly robbed it of some personality that the CGI team had obviously tried to inject.
In fact, the special effects were a bit hit-and-miss throughout.
