The Last Redemption: Der Kampf um den Thron

I don't understand how they could ruin a film like this. The story had huge potential, with breathtaking landscapes and a stunning male lead who holds the screen effortlessly. But unfortunately, the female counterpart is a disaster: she has a face that looks like a horse, and in some scenes, she even resembles a man! Unbelievable! Zero femininity! Such a shame, because the chemistry between the two could have worked, but she's as wooden as they come. This completely undermines the emotional tension of the film.

The movie still remains visually captivating, with some well-shot action sequences and a finale that tries to redeem the story. But overall, it leaves a bitter taste for what it could have been but wasn't.

This is a film that perfectly embodies the essence of epic adventures, transporting the audience to a magical realm rich in pitfalls and betrayals. With a cast of highly talented actors such as Kevin Sorbo, Natalie Burn, James Cosmo, and Angus MacFadyen, this film manages to capture the imagination from the very first moments, offering a captivating and engaging cinematic experience.

Visually, "The Last Redemption" is a triumph. The action scenes are well choreographed and set against extraordinary landscapes that contribute to creating a fantastic and immersive atmosphere. The orcs and other fantastic creatures are depicted with attention to detail that enriches the setting, making the world of Brea even more fascinating.

John Real's direction is skillful, managing to balance moments of tension and adventure with instances of deep reflection. The powerful and evocative score perfectly accompanies the characters' emotions and the dynamics of the story.

"The Last Redemption" is a work that entertains and inspires, making it a must-watch for fans of the fantasy genre and for anyone who believes in the power of justice and solidarity. With its combination of adventure, drama, and moments of great emotion, the film is a journey that will leave the audience with hearts full of hope and determination.

I watched like 20 minutes of it, enough to find everything: budget, story, characters, dialogue, fighting, acting, direction to be terrible. I mean, the starting scene is a woman carrying a child in slow motion and monologuing using words like "math". She's supposed to be a medieval outlaw.

I actually wanted to see this because Kevin Sorbo and orcs, I thought it was another Arrowstorm Entertainment production, but it's another entertainment's and it's not good at all.

What really spooked me is that really good veteran actors were doing so poorly: James Cosmo, Angus MacFayden, even Kevin Sorbo, even if he mostly plays himself at all times. The moment they introduced a small girl that couldn't act if her life depended on it, I turned it off.

So, went in expecting a time waster, watchable swords and armour flick, no expectations.

My already low expectations were sadly dashed by just how boring, wooden and stupifying this sad excuse for a movie really is.

Stilted dialogue, terrible continuation, rubbish sound, the list goes on and on... Now, apparently there is a clever plot, however I missed have missed this bit as I drifted in and out of sleep through sheer boredom.

Further Orcs? What Orcs as advertised? Bunch of bad cheap rubber maks that really has very little relivence to whatever storyline already vaguely existed and Gimli and Legolas would have been very disappointed at the lack of challenge they presented... To summerise, if it is a choice between a root canal proceedure at your Dentist, or watching this movie I highly recommend the root canal as the more pleasurable option.

This movie presents itself as an epic adventure that enchants and engages viewers with an enticing combination of action, drama, and universal themes. The film, featuring an exceptional cast that includes Kevin Sorbo, Natalie Burn, James Cosmo, Angus McFadyen, and Neb Chupin, manages to do more than simply entertain: it offers a profound reflection on the meaning of doing the right thing. The film may seem like a western, but in reality, it is a fantasy, and this is incredible. The story focuses on Diana, stunningly portrayed by Natalie Burn, a determined outlaw fighting against the oppression imposed by Lord Roland (Kevin Sorbo), a well-defined antagonist whose thirst for power represents a constant threat to the kingdom of Brea.

Burn's performance is intense and charismatic; she brings the audience into her internal struggle and motivations, making her an unforgettable protagonist. Sorbo, in his portrayal of Lord Roland, embodies the malice and determination of the perfect villain. His stage presence captures attention and adds tension to every scene he appears in. The interactions between Diana and Roland create a conflict rich in nuances, keeping the viewer on the edge of their seat. James Cosmo, playing a wise mentor, provides valuable guidance and a role model that enriches Diana's journey. On the other hand, John Real contributes his charisma in the role of a loyal and attractive warrior, adding depth and gravity to the narrative, while Neb Chupin and his daughter Lutze Chupin bring a dimension of lightness and humor, offering necessary pauses amid the tumult of action. John Real's direction stands out for his ability to create a richly detailed fantastical world, supported by breathtaking cinematography that highlights both the beauty and danger of the kingdom of Brea. Every action scene is skillfully choreographed, combining dynamism and emotion, and viewers often find themselves experiencing the adrenaline of fights and the tensions of critical situations.

Moreover, the film's soundtrack is deeply engaging and manages to amplify the emotions of each sequence, enriching the visual experience and making key moments even more poignant. In summary, "The Last Redemption" is a film that appeals to our sense of justice and the desire to fight for what is right. With its mixture of gripping action, well-developed characters, and a powerful message, this film is a must-see for adventure cinema lovers. It represents a true celebration of human courage and the importance of friendship. Don't miss the opportunity to immerse yourself in this extraordinary cinematic adventure!
