This is a fun film! I have to agree with other reviewers that this film is more like DnD than LotR!! Orcs, Dwarfs, Elves and Man team up for this pleasant, sometimes humorous, adventure.Yes this is a "B"udget film but it's still worth watching if you like "B" fantasies. It's good as is, I can only imagine just how great it would be with a larger budget. I actually like this film better than some of the large budget films of today... this one is very entertaining to those of us that love the DnD/Tolkien worlds.I have to say "Well done!" to those that made this film! I had a blast watching this. I'd love to get a copy of it for my library of films.9.5/10

It was good and keeps very true to fantasy orcs look more like orcs than in LOTR, the ghome is also well made. The orc and elf maiden do well, the paladin seems a bit off but it all works out for me somehow. It proves it possible to make a movie with small budget and perhaps experience, it can lead to bigger things. Just remember Braindead haha. Good strong start with the fight scene, Nemyt kicks some goblin ass.Danielle Chuchran stands out for me in this movie, perhaps minus the spitting haha very much like an elf maiden warrioress should be, small quick and deadly. To me a good depictionThe movie is obviously not up to pro standards and you prolly have to be able to see that as a charming aspect rather than a obstacle to enjoy it fully.

So, netflix suggested this, and Im a sucker for fantasy.First off, as the negative ones have noted, its low-budget. If you cant be bothered to see anything that doesn't come with a hundred million dollar plus price tag, this will disappoint. If you know how to enjoy films for the creativity, and forgive new companies for not being richer than most countries, you might like this.Fight scenes: as a martial artist, trained in many medieval weapons, the fights actually are fairly historically accurate to various styles of real Earth. Of course, to people that have never seen a fight without Wire-Fu, CGI, and such, this will seem boring and "lame".Scenery: Absolutely gorgeous. I was surprised to find out this was all in Utah. I really was expecting to see New Zealand and Australia from the look of some of the shots.CGI: yeah, that needs work. But, they are new. they'll get better.Actors: the main 3 were good to better. The rest were fair to good. About what you'd expect from a company just starting out. Each tried to add some quirks to make their character stand out. Make-up was very good; managed to catch the iconic essence of the races instead of looking like "LotR" rip-offs. Unless Lord of the Rings is all you know about fantasy.Script: If you know fantasy, this is old hat. No surprises, no twists. Id guess a new company already had their hands full without trying to write an opus on top of just trying to get their foot in the door.All in all, a good watch and highly recommendable.

I'm not one for low budget sci-fi, but Arrowstorm Entertainment is filling a Hollywood void with good ole Dungeons & Dragons fantasy and I had to see it.Truthfully, my expectations were fairly low, and the movie exceeded my expectations. I thought the cinematography, costumes, and make-up were pretty d@mn good! Not sure what the budget was, but from having seen plenty of 'behind-the-scenes' clips, stunt choreography in someone's living room... it's gotta be low. Kudos to all involved in giving this film the fantasy 'look'! The acting? Well, whatever. One shouldn't expect an Oscar winning performance from a relatively unknown low budget sci-fi/fantasy film. I think the acting exceeded the dialogue in the script. I particularly enjoyed Danielle Chuchran and her fight sequences. She's extremely graceful and deserves a lot of credit for keeping the film interesting.It is unfortunate that what I enjoyed least about the movie is the only major component to the film that is NOT dependant on budget. The script/story itself. So often when you have a producer(s) that writes his own script, no one's really in a position to give them a reality check on something that doesn't work - our heroes are attacked by one-armed dwarf dude (who was actually one of the coolest characters... who sort of didn't matter at all in the story... I guess they just really wanted a cool dwarf dude?) and our heroes say "What is that... some kind of magic?", and 5 seconds later "Quick! He's reloading!". So, Kullimon is now fully aware it's a gun? What? Let me start with dialogue and subtext... there was so much 'on the nose dialogue' in this script, I'm considering comping both Mr. Faller and Mr. Griffin a class on subtext at The Writer's Store. For example... poor Nemyt has been shot multiple times, and slashed/cut-open and lies still on the ground. Kullimon cradles her and is forced to say the line... "she's dying".The character development was kind of there, although all three protagonists from the get go weren't allowing audiences to bond or feel for them. Nemyt for instance is the crude bounty hunter that likes to spit on people. Once, perhaps... but I think she did it three or four times? So why do we care that she's been cursed, other than the fact that she's cute, and the audience knows that she's supposed to be the protagonist? Moving along to the story itself... I think I was at about one hour before I thought... where the heck are they going exactly? The only thing I clued into was that Nemyt wanted rid of her curse. I know there's some evil God that's going to rise up, but there's really no sense of urgency or timing on this event. The demon God just appears as our heroes arrive out of convenience it seems. In fact, most of the plot occurred out of convenience. "Oh look, here's Kullimon tied to a pole right in front of us... we could use another hero, come with us." There were a few scenes that added nothing to the plot, and they had the worst special effects - the first big bad dude that kinda sorta looked like a minotaur? Don't know who he was, exactly, or why he was there... but that was the worst SFX in the movie, when I was pretty impressed with the other effects that were pulled off.I really wish they had worked harder on the story, or had a professional writer. IMDb indicates the movie scores a 4.7/10. For me, with a better script this movie could easily be a 6/7. Again, it's a shame the greatest weakness was NOT the budget. Having said that, I was entertained and I enjoyed the movie because I was impressed at what Arrowstorm achieved with the resources they had.
