Matcollis This Movie Can Only Be Described With One Word.

Supelice Dreadfully Boring

Yash Wade Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.

Guillelmina The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

roska-posti I really wanted to like this film. It could easily have been a rather good movie. Unfortunately, the writing was so bad it ruined it all.Doesn't surprise me the movie was written and produced by the same men: Jason Faller and Kynan Griffin. These guys shouldn't write movies. It's not even bad in a good way, like in some funny and enjoyable B-movies. There is no tongue in cheek. It is not a parody. It's not even a hong-kongish marshal art film. The solutions are just incredibly bad and the plot is thinner than an elven maiden's hair. The final battle with the avatar summoning is fittingly the unholy crowning of this: the elf who was just a moment ago captured by these orcs, can now join the worshipers and then is suddenly realized as an assassin, the failed distraction the orc and the paladin were supposed to create, the unbelievably lame slaying of the avatar with an unexplained ability of the paladin, the unbelievable death of the whole orc horde but the heroes staying alive, it's all so insanely bad I wanted to pull my hair and cry.The movie has beautiful scenes, nice camera shots and magical moments. The orc and the elf were actually rather good characters and the actor and the actress played them good.

kosmasp It's as another user described it much better than expected. That doesn't make it really good though. The expectations were low and it didn't fall below them. Since the movie does not have a lot of money (see CGI), it does do the neat trick of keeping most of the story on the road. Or in the woods would be a better description, where you have the possibility not to show any technology at all.Acting is decent for what the movie is. The story of a group that doesn't really belong together but has to stick with each other is old, but has some charm. If you rent the Disc make sure to watch the Outtakes, it's obvious they had fun making it and I think it would be too harsh and unfair to criticize the movie too much

Heinrich Faust For a low budget movie it certainly impressed me more than I hoped. Really, REALLY beautiful scenery, good cast (main trio), high-quality make-up and costumes (the elf girl is just a perfect elf, never saw better in any movie). The plot is a canon fantasy, nothing too original, but I wasn't bored by it. Fighting scenes were generally good I didn't had much expectations from the beginning, so for the scenery alone I could give it a 10 easily (and for Danielle Chuchran, of course). But I must be fair - some special effects were too cheap for this kind of beautiful environment, I'm not into the fancy graphics, but the dissonance was just too strong. The final battle was lame and plot has its issues. All in all, it is a "must see" for any fantasy fan.

bloodtoxin88 I'll say this right off the bat: This is a low-budget film, and it can't be entirely faulted for that. The kind of pitfalls you would expect from a low-budget movie are all here: Cheesy effects, poor makeup, limited sets, over-processed visuals (as a result of limited sets).Normally, these things would be forgivable if the acting, story, choreography, and cinematography outshine them. In this case, they simply do not.Everything you see in the first 5 minutes lets you know exactly what you're in store for. A terrible CGI dragon is being ridden by an orc in very unconvincing makeup. The orc is shot down by an elf with the cheapest color contact lenses this side of your local mall, and a fight scene ensues. This is where you see the combination of poor direction and framing coupled with extremely inept choreography. Hell, there's a point in the first fight scene where you can CLEARLY see the elf MISS her kick to the orc's face by about a foot, and he still grunts and flies backwards as if it connected. That's the kind of thing you either re-shoot or cut in post.This is the kind of quality you might expect to find in a feature-length YouTube production -- though that might be insulting to some of the more accomplished YouTube content producers.
