When talk with my roomate (ZarrSadus below) about this movie we agreed it had a lot going for it. It has a very interesting story, albiet hard to follow at times. It has the whole 'me against the world' aspect that makes great tales. The only thing that came to mind to compare it to was Lord of the Rings, in the feel of the story itself. The special effects are definetely important in creating a fantasy land, and although they are a MAIN part of the movie, i rarely noticed them. The acting was a little over the top at times, but was a small shortcomming to the scenes that followed. My only real complaint would be the actual fights weren't very long. Most of them were only a few seconds it seems, with a lot of time dancing around the opponents. Still a very good movie, better than Storm Riders in Story, though i'd prefer SR for acting and action.

8.5/10.
