Officially, we get told:
'A group of guardians are tasked with protecting a messenger who must deliver vital information to their king. On their journey through an ancient land, they face a battle filled with plagues, dark magic, and vile monsters.´
What we get for real? Four people in cliché fantasy gear, the sort no sane person would choose for outdoor hiking aka wandering thru danger zones, plus weapons they barely know how to hold or wield, stumble thru the usual challenges of level one fantasy pseudo-heroes.
The dialogues are boring, the characters bleak and predictable, and the mostly orcish (competing kingdom) 'monsters´ have also been done better in fan movies from a decade or two ago!
Best acting: The little white-greenish spider after the intro scare.
This movie does not reach a 'Warcraft - Alliance against Horde´ flair, nor does it reach the comedically value of 'The Gamers - Dorkness Rising´, which was already a flawed roleplay turned movie. Even the early parts of Sir Peter Jackson's LOTR were much more solid, and I mean the hobbits up to meeting Aragorn.
At 120% playback speed it still was slowly, and I would prefer to call it pathetic. Still: Tastes vary, and I tend to be fierce & intolerant on stuff that peed me off, so who knows: May be I rate it one star, but you and all your friends, lovers, admirers agree that it is instead a ten star masterpiece? Check it out, form your opinion. Enjoy, if you can.
