Billie Morin This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

Jakoba True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.

Fleur Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

suite92 We start with a good 10 minutes of overview and backstory by Hekate, granddaughter of Ma'at, Queen of Abelar. The granddaughter was portrayed as having some sort of speech impediment, or else the actress was just very badly miked. I needed the closed captions. This segment was largely done in sepia cartoons. Artsy cartoons, perhaps, but still. In any case, Ma'at's mother hired mercenaries to put down Sorcerer Xuxia and his vampire daughter Xia, before Xuxia opens a portal to the netherworld. Duguay, Rodrigo, and Oda manage just that, but Oda introduces complications instead of completely finishing the job.Twenty years later, Princess Tanis becomes the centre of the light side, and Xia, the risen Vampire Queen, the leader of the dark side. The real core character, though, is warrior mercenary Oda, who slew the sorcerer Xuxia, reduced Xia to dust for 20 years, and fathered Princess Tanis, the mercenary Aedon, imperial assassin Rajan, and their sister Malia. Rajan had daughter Alana, whom she trained as an assassin. Besides those four, Oda fathered Kara by Xia, who gave birth before Oda, ah, dusted her off.At the final command of Ma'at, Tanis finds her siblings. The group goes off to find their wayward and fertile father, then put down Xia and keep the door to the netherworld closed.What could possibly go wrong?This was another under capitalised project. It shows. The number of dead-end plot threads was too high. Also, too much time was devoted to dreary conversations, then Hekate would narrate what should have been long action sequences in a matter of a few seconds.

dragonscientist I have never seen anything that was more poorly made. I am trying to watch all vampire movies that I can find. That is the only reason that this joke of a movie played to completion in front of me. Much of the movie jumps to a poorly produced cartoon-mode. Whenever the movie would have required any real creativity, they put in a cartoon instead. It really looked like they couldn't figure out how to do real CGI, and they couldn't afford a decent cartoonist, so they just put in some crappy drawings and called it good. I've seen, and even appreciated movies, that go between live film and anime style battles, but stylistic choice is not an excuse that this lousy movie can claim. If this was a stylistic choice, then all of the fighting should have followed the same style. That was not the case with this charade. What determined whether the fight scene appeared live vs. cartoon was how difficult it would have been to film it. If a fight scene was anything more than a awkward swing of a sword by an incompetent actor, then it was turned into a low quality cartoon.It also looked like most of the actors would have been rejected in auditions for an elementary school play. Some of the other reviews that compare the acting to that of porn are way too generous.

urmonk30 This is the first movie I have reviewed here, and I do so as a response to those who are praising this movie.I don't know how anyone can honestly praise this movie, it is a shear mess. Editing and pacing were terrible, production quality below most TV episodes. I'm sure the actors did the best they could with what they had but what they had wasn't much. This movie is in no way near as enjoyable as "The Sword and the Sorcerer", it is in no way nearly as coherent. This movie made little sense, even with the ham-fisted exposition. The trailer for this movie was better than the movie!Maybe this mess could be salvaged by throwing it into the category of "so bad it's good", and that's a big maybe.There are only two suggestions I have for watching this movie: either watch it inebriated or, simplest of all, not at all.

Expresso_Kid This type of production should be illegal. It's a waste of money, that could have fed many starving children somewhere in the world. It has no entertainment value. Mostly it seems like a group of former porn film actors had decided to make a non-porn film, but failed miserably. Sure you get to see some tits(which is probably the reason why some praise the movie), but even the tits are as bad in quality as the movie itself.Val Kilmer? Where? The Val Kilmer I remember was an actual actor! Not a wanna-be porn star.What I liked about the film, was that it was on DVD, so I could speed it up to finish it sooner. Breathtakingly bad movie.
