It seemed that this film was part of a series that will continue in the future with other episodes, so maybe it was the pilot of webseries or something. Great efforts by using all kinds of background footages to create this fantasy world. The music really pumped up and kept the film together and more exciting that it was without it. There were so many characters and prophesies that I lost count at some point. Very nice costume design and face-jewelry design. All in all it was entertaining, even though not something for me but I give you thumbs up for efforts to make this come together.

A parody of "Stargate" and superhero films? The film was also heavy on character introduction, which kind of took away from the storyline, making it difficult to follow. Perhaps this is a prequel to a series of films or episodes where the storyline is stretched out to develop and characters will be introduced when it feels more appropriate. I have to admit the fight scenes gave a bit of a chuckle as well. It would be interesting to see how this develops if there is more to it.

Very interesting visuals and editing with this short. Wardrobe and costume design were all authentic to the time period. I feel the shorts true flaw though was the acting. Nobody was particularly engaging or stood out to me, which took away from the otherwise majestic atmosphere that the editing and wardrobe created. Stronger and more seasoned actors would certainly have made this short a more enjoyable watch.
