Submitted by John  (May 26, 2004)I enjoyed this movie. It has a refreshing mix of science fiction and fantasy, of past, present and future and of darkness and light. The shifting of scenes and characters kept me interested and on my toes. While expecting mediocracy I was not disappointed to discover none. I noticed above average acting, cinematography and direction. I was overjoyed at the ending which also came as quite a surprise.
The evil team of Endora and the guard (played by Heather Myers and Adam Kennedy) in the castle dungeon stood out as surprising and greatly entertaining. Both actors seemed to have thrown their entire being into these roles.
I also enjoyed watching the characters of the crew go through their development from the opening press conference through the problems with the mission and rescue. It was similar to watching my children grow up into adulthood. I was always looking to see what would happen next.
Then there was the three guards with their constant frustration with their jobs. Not unlike real-life situations we have all found ourselves in. Their solution to dealing with these problems made me want to crawl in and hang out with them.
Overall, I found very little content in this movie that I could fault. I plan to watch it again and think I will enjoy it as much, if not more the next time.
