I am watching this movie now and it looks very much like a Lord of the Rings wannabe that cannot live up to its predecessor. There are quite a number of inconsistencies with remarks about God, and another about gods, and the movie delves a lot into the topic of magic as well.
There are Krugs (the beasts), amazons who live on trees and move like Cirque du Sileil acrobats, and ninja-like warriors. I haven't been able to figure out what those tree-amazons are for either. There are battle scenes with strategies that are not convincing. And the pep talk before the battle is not very inspirational. The dialogue traipses between poetic and crude.
It looks very much like a movie that doesn't know what it wants to be. I wonder if the book or game that this is based on is as confused as the movie is. I would give it a grade of C.
