The story concerns an American boy named Cody who now lives in Australia with his guardian Gaza. He sets out with two of his friends to explore a lake that is said to inhabit a mysterious creature known as 'Donkegen'.The opening scene is really well done. The film score is fantastic and the acting gives this film a very realistic feel.Even though it's a kids film, it never plays down to a lower intelligence and understands that a kids film doesn't have to use slang in order to reach it's target audience.I honestly believe in the age of too many video games and TV, this is a great film for young or old. Better to show to young ones in the hopes they understand you can have so much fun by just exploring and creating/building things. Perhaps when they are older they will look back at this film and realize one of it's overall messages.Let's hope for a proper DVD release soon.

Yes, this movie was peculiar. Yes, the plot was sort of strange and a bit difficult to follow the first time around ... that is why we watched it many times !The boy is a great inventor, and goes exploring strange things in this lake... and I thought the movie was just very mysterious and exciting as a kid.I just thought I would put out this little review, as the other voter quite disliked it, heh. I thought it was superb !

Let me start by saying it has been about 8 or 9 years since I last saw the Quest, but I still remember it fondly.Henry Thomas, soon after his performance as "Elliot" in E.T., finds himself living with relatives in Australia after his parents pass on. He soon begins to investigate a local legend called the "Dahnk-a-gin" (or something like that...), a fierce loch-ness-monster style beast living in an old quarry that has been flooded.As a child, I was always very inquisitive and imaginative, and loved to explore old buildings and creepy places, so this movie appealed to me greatly. The area surrounding the flooded quarry is littered with scrap metal, beat up shacks, and a cool broken down 50's car that just call to the exploring spirit.During some scenes, Henry rides the railroad using a modified bicycle that could lock onto the railroad tracks... start pedaling, and off you go! I always wanted one of those...Anyway, check out the Quest, and see if it doesn't sweep you up in it's imaginative spell!

This is one of the most boring movies I have ever seen! I was interested in it when I first rented it, but when I watched it, I almost fell asleep! It's very confusing and it didn't get me very interested. Maybe a couple of parts got me a little interested, but that's all. Mainly, I thought this movie was a total waste of time. Rent it if you want, but I'm warning you, you might regret it...
