This was a first-time watch for me so seeing this fantasy film from 1983 directed by Peter Yates with music by James Horner which is kind of funny because the music kind of reminded me of Star Trek just a little bit but I have to say that the beginning battle seems kind of awkward but once the young prince ended up running into his ragtag band of Misfits and outlaws as you journey to save his one true love it was definitely a difference fantasy world where I could see both creature effects as well as some very decent CGI effects when it came to the destruction of each of the creatures every ti…

'Ynyr' thinks that perhaps the emerald seer (John Welsh) could help and so they set off to find him in his remote cave. Along the way they encounter a group of escaped prisoners led by 'Torquil' (Alun Armstrong) whom the new king manages to conv…
