Good movie...not a must-see, but a fantasy-love story

Rating: 8/10 (21 February 2009)

This is a good movie...on the first run. We watched it a friend's house in High Definition. The picture quality is superb, spectacular at best. To put it in terms of a high school perspective, this movie takes the clichÃ© fantasy love-goochy goochy theme and puts it into an epic, "Lords of the Rings" type of setting, where there are 2 worlds (don't recall the names of the 2 realms). One world is the magical world. The other is the human, non-magical realm. The movie takes place in the magical world. There are some bitter, (inane) witches. They duke it out with the 7 sons of a king who is about to die. These 7 sons must kill each other to take the realm of the king, but first they must capture this "special" pendant. The pendant is actually a special gem that takes the form of a beautiful, shining, "star" woman, who runs into the main character. No, I can't remember any names, but that's the basic lowdown.
BUT WAIT! There's more! The good part of this movie is, it's exciting! I was on the edge of my seat for a good 20 minutes (not continually). And as a friend puts it, there is an "anticlimax" at the end- something you didn't expect to happen. At least to us. So you should go see this movie, in HD if you can. The picture quality is amazing. The plot isn't unique, but the actors make it so.
