If you like epic fantasy you have to watch this movie!
"Krull" was made back in 1983 and you can feel the Star wars influence as you see the very first sequences of the film: Laser weapons, another planet in another galaxy, a princess, a prophecy. Of course some of the special effects and sets (fake rocks for instance) are a little dated, but still electrifying.
The film also is a fabulous mixture of romantic sequences,
an exceptional inventiveness with an impressive and mystical score by young composer James Horner, (already so talented, i can't get his knight theme out of my head ) and brilliant, breathtaking action/battle sequences. I particularly enjoy the inventive character of the widow of the web and the sequences in her lair.
Splendid!
Plus, you have Liam Neeson in one of his very first screen roles!
I wish they could make fantasy, action-packed movies with such a passion for well crafted characters and beautiful stories nowadays...
Special effects should not replace a good story (the main issue in today movies) and "Krull" is a perfect combination of special effects and a compelling story line.
A beautiful movie!
