WillSushyMedia This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

Bluebell Alcock Ok... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies

ssto i am very glad that the majority of reviews for this movie are favorable, as i enjoyed watching it too. of course, you have to keep an open mind, disregard some strange ideas in the story, but if you are a fantasy fan, you will like this movie too.the unfolding of the arc was really believable to me. it was also Epic, in a true fantasy meaning - our hero struggled to find himself, to remedy previous errors, to find strength to start on a new path - this sounds classic and it is evident that the production was the effort of devoted fans. i read here that the budget was really low, and actors were barely paid - well - congratulations for giving us a great story, a real, believable story.9/10 a sequence will be eagerly expected, a higher budgeted remake would be fantastic

mpeak23 Young men who haven't figured out who they are or how they are supposed to live should not tell stories. This silly movie teaches that it's better to run away when the going gets tough than to be brave and loyal and fight for your buddy, or family or whatever. It also teaches that if you are doing really stupid selfish things but you are special in some way, that you can continue to do really stupid selfish things and the good spirits will come help you anyway. It also teaches that when you are doing these really stupid selfish things and you go into the desert and you face difficulty and some really scary looking women in the distance that it's alright to throw a temper tantrum, and be really reckless with your stuff and the good spirits will reward you by coming and taking care of you anyway.I was quite annoyed by this movie because it doesn't teach anything worthwhile and instead teaches the exact opposite - that it's all quite random and pointless. That the decisions and choices we make don't really matter and that you fate is really out of your hands, so go ahead and be a dumb, selfish, petulant ass and it's all good. This movie teaches entitlement and rewards bad behavior. It's shocking to me that some young men who created this movie tried to take the trappings of a 'hero journey' and didn't get the substance of it AT ALL, put the ingredients in there, but COMPLETELY missed the point. Grrrrr

cartza Reading previous reviews and comments of this film, some people really didn't like this film. Personally, i really found enjoyment in this film, but i can see why others didn't. It doesn't contain expensive costumes, lots of fight scenes and numerous interesting characters. In a way, reading the plot line suggests these things MAY exist in the film. In fact, this film is about the personal struggle of a Knight, once held in high regard, who falls into depression and a self destructive path after his love his killed. The only thing of hers he possesses, her ring that he had given her, is lost when he drunkenly gambles it away in a game of chance. Once he sobers up the next day, he realizes what he has done and sets out to find it. Where the journey takes him throughout the film is his own personal progression from being a sorrowful drunk to regaining his honor as a knight of prestige. The amount of characters he meets along the way are minimal and are basically there to act as a buffer so the main character isn't the only one on screen for the entirety of the film.This film has some wonderful scenic views and takes full advantage of this throughout the feature. This film also has a wonderful soundtrack and the composer is actually one of the supporting characters in the film. Where this film fails is its lengthy sequences. There are many scenes of the main character Asbrey is walking through the forests. Lots of these scenes are key to his back story and his predicament, but there are many scenes that could have been cut down in time. One that stands out is his walk through the desert in the last act of the film. It attempts to depict how traveling through the desert can drive someone mad, but instead will drive the viewer mad by how long it takes for this sequence to end. Also, the are a few scenes where Asbrey encounters a wolf that appears to be helping him. While i'm guessing it is left to the viewers interpretation as to what the wolf represents, it is never made clear in the film.In conclusion, this in my opinion is a lovely gem that i can and have watched more than once. It saddens me that the director has not moved on to bigger and better things, especially when i learned he was only a film student when he made this film. Blake Stadel as Asbrey in the lead role is above average, nothing more, and majority of the supporting cast are adequate. It is not an original plot, not a groundbreaking script, but an enjoyable experience when you know what you are getting into.

sinyra This movie becomes better upon learning that it is a student film. However, it lacks a well developed plot. The film gives good set up originally but fails to follow through on important details like why his lost love was burned, where the random characters he meets go, what the dog represents and what a "westender" even is. I rated this film a 4 because where it lacks in plot it has very good camera angles and scenery choice. With a better script it could have been vastly improved.To those who think that this film requires thinking unlike the spoon fed Hollywood formula, there is something to be said about plot development.
