Sleeping Beauty Trailers

The beautiful Aurora is cursed into everlasting sleep by an evil witch for a crime she didn't commit. The brave Commander of the Guard, William, embarks on a quest inspired by both love and loyalty to free the doomed princess. He travels into the dark forest where he encounters a friendly elf that helps him on his quest, a dangerous wizard with no love for royalty or evil, a deadly assassin, and a ravenous creature that preys on human flesh before the final confrontation that will determine Aurora's fate.

Reviews
Huievest Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.
ChanFamous I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.
Robert Joyner The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one
Roy Hart If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.
nightroses The story is loosely based on the fairytale "Sleeping Beauty" and is centred more on the warrior prince who wants to find princess Aurora. The evil queen has set Aurora in a castle surrounded by dark powers. Along his quest to find the sleeping Aurora, the warrior meets friends in the form of a wizard and a pretty elf girl. The film has a lot of breathtaking scenes and very nice costumes. I was surprised with the twists at the end. The film is a fairytale done on a budget although it's quite a little gem with more magic than today's average blockbuster.
gootgeek a poor attempt at a artisan style film with cheesy acting over compensated with the showing of naked ladies and the ending has nothing to do with the original story whats so ever its completely random and pants unless your a teenage boy desperate to get off i would skip this film its waste of an hour and a few minutes the only good thing is the film locations scenery it also looks like it being filmed on a calculator very home movie the effects are pants and the action is basically watching several chases and wrestling matches with tomato sauce as blood they added a wizard and an elf in for bulk plot line and top it all of quite a few of the cut-scenes are jumpy and blurry
geoffgee I've recently watched this live action version of Sleeping Beauty (on DVD) and enjoyed it from the outset. The film's telling of the fairy tale is, I think, quite a distinct and imaginative variation on the way Sleeping Beauty is traditionally depicted. I quickly became interested in the journey of William (the commander of the king's army and played by Robert Amstler), the pretty elf Alondra (Gemma Donato) and the wizard Samrin (John J. Welsh) to rescue Aurora. I also enjoyed the choices of outdoor landscapes (e.g. snowy forests, mountain views, lake side action) and thought the fights were well choreographed. The actors and actresses are all attractive (even the villains) and they all put in acceptable performances. For me the film has what I enjoy in a movie (i.e. a terrific story and fascinating characters whose fate I care deeply about) so I'm giving it a personal rating of 10/10.
