Not exactly new territory, but enjoyable in the same way. The scenes and characters in the nerdy fantasy store where Hildur finds work were reminiscent of the record store scenes in High Fidelity. I'm not big on visual gimmicks, but the scene-fades into comic-book panels are precisely appropriate and an added little delight. It's not saccharine, and while Astrotopia (what Netflix calls this movie) is clichéd in the overall arc of the plot, it is relatively fresh in the moment-to-moment of the movie. I don't play role-playing games, or even video games, and my taste in movies tends to the heavier stuff, but I like to praise the rare lightweight upbeat movies that work for me. It's a trajectory not unlike Legally Blonde, and Ragnhildur Steinunn Jónsdóttir handles her role as Hildur as convincingly and engagingly as Witherspoon did in her corresponding role. Ragnhildur Steinunn Jónsdóttir starts out as a plastic-y trophy and grows into someone cute, warm, and surprisingly capable.

It's the story of a bimbo girlfriend who has to fend for herself after her slimeball car-dealership-owning boyfriend is arrested. Were this an American movie, the producers would doubtless hope to cast Reese Witherspoon in the lead. The film is a bit rough around the edges and the special effects are not up to Hollywood standards but it is charming with a capital "C". In fact one of the best scenes is where Hildur (after having played a few times) talks with genuine enthusiasm about the experience to a potential customer and we see her light up for the first time.

This film pokes fun at the nerdy world of role playing but it is with genuine affection not scorn. If Dungeons and Dragons (2000) had been this movie, I doubt any so called "geek" would have objected. The main character (Hildur)is a rather blank bimbo who find herself (and true love) through the magic of role playing games. This is a terrific film! The characters are eccentric and engaging but still seem like real people. She finds herself working at Astropia, a store of movies, comic books, and role playing paraphernalia and starts making steps towards real independence. Seriously, this is one of the best films I've seen this year and it deserves every single star I've given it.Ī beautiful but superficial young woman is forced to make her own way in the world when her slimy boyfriend is arrested for fraud. It has wonderful humour, interesting action scenes and will make you love geeks, if you don't already. The dialogue is well written and realistic and the characters are just adorable. Iceland simply is a perfect place for fantasy adventures with its mountains and waterfalls. But even non-geeks can enjoy it a lot, and get a glimpse into our silly little world. In fact, the moral of the story is that geeks rule! At least that's what I think.

This movie will leave you rolling on the floor with laughter without being degrading towards us geeks. Through her friendship with her fellow role players (or party members), she grows into a stronger and more independent person.

She gets a job at a geek shop called Astrópía, and slowly learns the way of the geek and how to survive a battle against orcs and ice witches. The story is about Hildur, a blond bimbo, who needs to get a job for the first time in her life after her boyfriend has been arrested. In fact, I am proud to say that it was my country who came up with the idea for this wonderful film. Normally, when seeing an Icelandic film, you have to keep in mind that we're a small country with a small film budget, but Astrópía is one movie that has nothing to fear when being compared with big countries.
