The only thing worthy in the movie is the scenery in the film. Some of the special effects like the two worlds forming an eclipse are also memorable. Besides those two things and the costumes being decent, the film is not worth your time. "The Veil" has bad acting from beginning to end, and it's from almost all the actors. However, to give the actors some credit, it's hard to have good acting when it's a completely horrible script. The plot is actually okay, but ridiculously awful delivery and setup to get there. Not to mention the atrocious fight sequences, despicable editing, and one of the worst endings ever! It's also stupid to see the main hero walk like a robot during his battles. Unless, you just have absolutely nothing to do, don't waste your time!

It was almost midnight, and I thought "I want to see a bad movie today" (don't ask me why I was thinking that, I really dont know, and I regret badly). Well, I did pretty good in that goal.This was one of the worst films that I ever see, really. The story starts well, they set up some concepts and it sounds fine at first look (like 1 minute). But, GOSH! The movie is a mess, my god, they editing the first half so badly (in fact, the editing of the entire movie is awful), I was really confused for the majority of the scenes. The story pace can be slow, even though in 30 minutes I think that almost a year passed. They try to convince us (the audience) that there is a war, between planets (I don't know what a fuck was that), nations or something like that, but, both sides have like 15 dudes (AT MOST). It's just sad, and sily. I was truly embarrassed for who made this movie.I rather don't write a huge thing here, talking about all the shit, we have a f#cking forced sex tension, some really long shoots of the scenery for no reason at all, the fightscenes... MY GOD THE FIGHTSCENES! The motivation of William Moseley's character still a mistery to me (what a hell are you doing with your carrer, Great King Pedro?). The acting is just so bad, that in some parts is funny, I laugh a lot.And, WHAT A FUCK WAS THAT ENDING?! It's like if they were thinking "Wow, we are cool, we made a movie, and we will put a really mind blowing ending, something amazing". But, NO! JUST DOESN'T MAKE SENSE! AT ALL! Is just a ending. that. does. not. make. sense. It was a dream? Time travel? Shit? Or you just don't know how to end?And, was that what a think it was? Is there a post-credit scene? ARE YOU KIDING ME?! DO YOU HAVE THE BALLS TO DO A POST-CREDIT SCENE?! THAT'S GREAT! I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE WHAT THEY WOULD DO NEXT!Just, please, if you haven't see the movie yet. Just, don't, please, go do ANYTHING else.

Alternate logline: Once upon a time, two films got together to have a child. Melancholia the mother; Conan the Barbarian the father. Unfortunately, the film they birthed was dropped on it's head during delivery and is now known as The Veil.Many of the other reviews handled some of the finer details of the film's shortcomings with more precision, but the story is a mess, it's overreaching and underachieving, the stakes seem lacking. One small example that's not a spoiler because it's so early in the film: We're expected to believe this is an alien planet, (or possibly an alternate Earth) but there are no aliens, only a shot in the sky for VFX to support such a thing. There are no likable characters or performances (aside from the old man at the end) and not any humor to speak of other than some painfully long pauses in the middle of fight choreography here and there. As a couple of pros for the movie: The film's makeup and wardrobes were great. The scenery is fine. It's shot decently. TLDR; The writing was horrible. It doesn't go anywhere. Watch Conan or Melancholia instead.

Of course the film deserves the bad reviews, the storytelling is muddled and unfulfilling, but there is much to the film that is interesting, and if the project had a good writer behind it, would have made the film a standout low-budget film. The direction, camera work, visuals, all great work. The actors accomplished a lot with the dubious dialogue they were given.If you are interested in making films, definitely worth watching and discussing.
