Celtics

Original Story from the Celtic Gods point of view

I ran across this Episode I on YouTube and found it original and unique. I had never seen a Celtic historical mythological movie before in which the Celtic Druid Gods actually spoke. I think they have a real possibility of finding a place between mythological series with dragons, such as Game of Thrones, and more rigid historical series like Vikings. The period accurate broken dialogue took a bit of getting used to, but I found myself thinking between the lines of what they were thinking and meaning to convey. I'd rather have broken Celtic dialogue than smooth soap opera dialogue.

The acting is top notch. I found the fresh faces immensely entertaining, as I get tired of seeing the same faces in the bigger budget movies ad infinitum. These are talents that we will surely see more of in movies. It's very hard portraying Celtic Gods who have lost much of their powers and are what seems, almost mortals again. Very challenging tough roles and all of these actors carried it well.

Sure if you're looking for a large budget historical movie series, just change the channel. This film series is very small now, but could quickly grow into an epic production because it has a unique voice. It's very well written, raising key points of their time under Roman Empire occupation, as we face today in our countries. The writing is both eternal and current.

I loved the weird blue Celtic Druid designs on their faces and hands. Almost like the Celtic Gods were crying streams of blue tears.

It's a fantastic experience.

Brilliant Acting and an original story. As a native Irish speaker, the few lines that were in Irish were fine. We have regional variations in Irish, there is no correct way. Actors did a great job with their Irish lines.

As other reviews have noted, this is not a huge expensive movie with a cast of hundreds and large sets, so don't expect that. The focus is on the acting and the story.

My wife and I, we're both pagans, enjoyed the alternative take on these Celtic gods brought to life on the screen. We hadn't seen such an original story theme before and we were thrilled by it. It definitely has its own place in our many history dramas out now, though having the Celtic gods actually speak, is going to upset the conformists.

If you aren't looking for a megahit big budget historical movie, but something more alternative, then this is an outstanding movie series.

Loved it. Great Welsh and Irish speakers, clear and succinct. Acting and camera work were outstanding. Very unusual stories, yet had a weird connection to our times as well. I wasn't expecting a large blockbuster and was looking for a small independent film. Was I in for a surprise, extremely powerful acting and close camera work drew me in, without overwhelming me with wide set-pieces where it feels like everything has been thrown at the screen and every inch of every frame has been filled with movement wherever possible. I'd imagine everyone with a brain will enjoy this indie film. I was hoping to see some dwarfs though. But you'll love the tall pointy Druid wizard hats! See at all costs.

A Druid heathen telling of history of the Ireland Celtics, which is sure to upset many in the current establishment. I watched this with my family, we loved it. What we found most interesting is seeing the parallel of the Celtic people under the Roman Empire occuption as so similar to our own era of a global empire occupation, the same slave wages and censorship.

Cinematography is breathtakingly close to the actors, really drawing us in to their emotions. We all loved the bits of true Gaelic and Welsh language here and there and appreciated the subtitles. It was the first time my sons and daughter had seen Gaelic, much less Welsh in a film production. It was wonderful to see. Location in a tall forest was perfect for Celtic Druids secretly meeting.

Actors were extraordinary, powerful, gifted. They are the up and coming actors to look out for. Watch for them.

Surely the worst scripted, worst directed, worst filmed worst misplaced accents worst over acted piece of crud ever to be made. Pregnant ... pauses... in... delivery, and over emoting abounds. Historically inaccurate, and truly beyond awful. On Twitter, archaeologists all over the world were being blocked en masse for daring to point out how terrible this was. The maker was appealing for funding, and some of the claims over this series just creased us up with laughter, as do clips and actual film. I feel so sorry for any actor having this on their CV. If you are a naive American with no grasp of archaeology, time or place you might be attracted to it, but it is as stodgy as a bowl of cold porridge.
