This a lovely and charming epic fantasy with lots of heart. I got lost in this sweet film watching it at the Mann's Chinese Theatre in Hollywood. It's truly romantic with a touching message.The artwork and the effects are visually striking and the fact that the director is an amazing artist is so apparent. The frames are like watching moving art. It also has a strong and talented cast of actors. What a wonderful surprise to see Joss Ackland, he is just a fairy-tale perfect King. Sarah Douglas is terrific as the villain and Christine Taylor and Tom Schultz make a lovely romantic pair. The fact that the movie was made on a ridiculously tiny indie film budget just blows me away. It may not be the slick Hollywood stuff we're inundated by but it's a really nice movie to rent and enjoy curled up on your sofa on a rainy Saturday. Don't forget the microwave popcorn. That's my advice. Just enjoy it.

Wretchedly Delicious. I watched this movie just to make fun of it. I can't believe it was made in 1996. I've seen better special effects on old Doctor Who episodes! I kept expecting Crow, Tom and Joel to pop up to make fun of the movie. The acting was horrible. The action was nonexistent. However, it's great laugh and I highly recommend it if you enjoy bad movies.

First of all, ignore anything opolic said. They say "Karnissa" many times during the film. Obviously this hack watched the first 5 minutes and the last 5 minutes of the film only.I wouldn't recommend this as a rental. But for TV watching this would be OK viewing. Plot and character development is sketchy, and confusing at times. OK special effects. Interesting universe. Nice overall "love above all" theme. Physics are a bit skewed.Overall, I would give this a good popcorn rating. This is not a serious film in any regard, but it gives a good summer afternoon Saturday or Sunday a good way to pass the time.

I'm usually quite tolerant of movies, and very easily entertained, however this movie was dreadfully disappointing.I watched this movie after seeing on the cover that William Zabka was in it (The Karate Kid bad boy) and during this movie I could see that this would be the only reason.This film is a tremendous waste of the actors talent. The music, and sound is dreadfully tacky - I couldn't believe this of a movie made in the 90's!I wouldn't really recommend this movie unless you're interested in one of the actors.
