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…

**An expensive film, typically from the 80s, but it aged badly and was forgotten.** I usually like fantasy films, but this film mixes things that seem so different from each other that I don't understand how such a thing was possible: on the one hand, the film shows a threat coming from space in the form of a spaceship, which looks like a black mountain with a big egg on top, and troops that shoot ray guns.

Fortunately, he survives thanks to the kindly efforts of 'Ynyr' (Freddie Jones) but now awakened and recovered, he is obsessed with rescuing his damsel in distress. 'Ynyr' thinks that perhaps the emerald seer (John Welsh) could help and so they set off to find him in his remote cave.
