In a cluttered world of films you can watch. Many parents find it hard to find family friendly films.. This is family friendly film that has a great story and is a fun fantasy for all ages. There's NO foul language in it. The look in the costumes are awesome. They're funny moments in it.. I won't give a lot away, but if you like movies like pirates of the Caribbean. Then you'll fantastic independently made film. I think it should get more exposure than it has. Watch it you won't be disappointed.. they have great locations and have a lot of great characters throughout the film.. I liked this film so much I had to make a comment.
We were very pleasantly surprised by how fun and adventures this new fantasy film is. Plus, the cinematography, costumes and score are first class, and really lifted the experience for us.
We noticed that its not a studio film either, rather an independent, which makes it even more impressive. Our whole family really enjoyed it. Laughed out loud a few times too. (Fart Dart-Ha)
It's very good for kids. (our son is 10 and daughter 14) It has a Princess Bride flavor to it, and that is rare. We gave it 8 Stars, and would watch it again (especially my son)
Of note, the two female leads, Ciel Post, and Mary Elise Hayden, are terrific playing against each other.
At first we were concern by the longer running time, and worried the kids might get bored. Its not the case here, we were surprised how fast and well paced the movie is. - Hope they do a sequel!

Don't know where to start with this.
I love a campy fantasy as much as the next man, but this is just a bit pants.
The acting. Wooden, but not wooden in an over played kind of way, it's just, well.. it's wooden.
Think a porn film, & you're close. Some of the actors & actresses look like any second they're going to "whip out my magic wand", if you get what I mean.
The sound is also, haha, wooden. As if recorded within a shed. There's a bit of an echo, bit of background noise. It's just not ever so clear. Some of the sound is also off, not matching up with the actions.
The backgrounds. Not gonna believe this, but it looks wooden. A mass of CGI for interior shots. Looks okay, but looks very flat.
Me & the missus managed about half a painful hour of this before giving up.
I'm giving it a FOUR as it's a good attempt.
I wanted to like it, I wanted it to be not too serious.
It's not for me...

I laughed out loud at this movie but from the wrong reasons. It was like watching a really bad porn movie with the porn erased, horrible acting and actors.
Think the story is about an evil queen, good witch, noble but stupid knight, a hustler and seafarer. All looking for a map that reveals a powerful treasure or something. Their path is sprinkled with totally pointless small storys about drpping rocks and such.
All girls wearing full make-up, fake eye lashes and push-up bras allover in all scenes even on the run in the forest for days.
Poor directing with non stop music throghout the whole movie, non stop.
Some okay effects for magic, dragons. And some really bad effects, spirit, shrinken troll etc. Even for beeing a low budget movie.
Costumes and weapons look a bit masquerade, to well polished, vibrant and plastic.

Rocco and the guys at MEGA64 Podcast gave this film a great review on their YouTube show. So we thought we would check it out on Amazon Prime. I watched it with my girlfriend and we both had such a good time. We thought it was funny, exciting and just a good time movie. The locations are fantastic. It looks like an expensive indy film, and we totally celebrate that. Am getting kind of tired of the 200Mil studio flix and their overly done CGI,. This movie had a good balance of real world locations that made us feel like we took a vacation for 2+ hours. Thanks Mega64, you are right, this is a really fun film, that made for a terrific weekend watch.
Did you know
- TriviaThe Empire Queen movie was born from the "Shine On Me" music video by Chris Dane Owens
- GoofsAt the 21 minute mark when the girl is found picking flowers, in EVERY cut back to her the flowers in her hands, and what she's picking changes ... in reverse. It starts with dark blue and red flowers, then pink and light blue as she picks the red, then light blue as she picks the pink with the red beside it. It's like the editor spliced the film back into the main cut BACKWARDS.
