it neither good nor bad and amateurish acting and poor direction with compentent special f or x and weak script or dialogue . many movie lately just can not seem to get the language of a time period right without add ridiculous modern dialogue clichés and slang and what not . i keep wait for one of them to pull out a cellphone because most the performance be phone in and for me the beginning be the bad stupid twinkle light in the background of scene of them on the ship while long shot with harpy fly over head be of a cloudy twilight sky and so where do the twinkling star come from . this be just point out one of many flaw and of course this ship be film in a studio with no water at all and i be sure of it . if youre a fan of sword and sandal sci fi adventure with sorcery and magic it only barely act a an apetizer and a lightly flavor one at that and leave you want terribly that you have the odyssey star armande assante in your dvd collection because watch all the hour of a rerun would be more satisfying than watch 90 minute once you remove commercial of this drivel . i have tivo would and fortunately be able to fastforward some simply painful dialogue moment in order to watch the special f or x. one thing to keep in mind few thing show a sci fi channel orginals they be really just production from foreign market like canada and bbc and germany or worse some reckless direct to video producer . voslo do what he can but with this material it a wasted effort .
