The costumes, sets, and effects make it worth watching. The casting and plot make it not worth paying much attention. It's more like an interesting screen saver than anything else. Young Raenehra was the only truly outstanding performance but they replaced her early on with some stranger that ruined my immersion going forward.

It's a shame such a large budget was wasted on pedestrian writing and casting. Not that there weren't some great scenes though. Most of the sets are magnificent. The dragons are well done. An altercation between the children was a glorious achievement in suspense. All in all, the DPs really knocked it out of the park. If only the writing wasn't so bland.
