Unlike most movies which are so driven by dialog and where the story is spoon-fed to the audience, Quest for Fire leaves so much to the interpretation of the viewers. The acting is superb (imaging telling a story of this depth through acting alone without the aid of spoken word), the makeup is believable, and the score all work together to tell this entertaining and informative story.
In many instances, it's not just the viewers who are left with having to figure out what is happening in a particular scene, the characters in the movie are often met with peoples and situations which are just as alien to them as they are to us.
Sure there are no chiseled dimpled leading actors or stunning buxom leading actresses, but even that, I found so refreshing. There also are no fancy explosions or computer generated special effects but that's what makes it so realistic.
You can watch it for its educational value, you can watch it for its humor, you can even watch it for its "action" (violence) .. but for whatever reason, do watch it at least once. When you do, watch it with an open mind and be prepared to use your imagination.
