Let's get this out of the way first - Lord of the Rings, this is not, both in terms of budget and how serious it takes itself. With that said: This is a fun movie, and is a new story line set in the world, so if you have seen the other 5, you know what you are getting into, and if you are new to this, its not a bad place to start. The actors are all rather talented and even the actors playing the less likable characters manage to bring some charm to their roles. The set design is rather well done, and the writing is coherent (which is better than one can say about most productions at this budget level). Cons: If you are a fan of the original set of movies, this one is mostly new characters. It needed more Nicola Posener: Teela was my fave in the originals and was sad to see so little of her in this one. Hopefully if this new storyline continues we get more appearances of the OG crew.

Just not the same story without Melanie/Marek. The storyline isn't bad, but the writing and new actors just don't feel like the same series. It's too bad they couldn't get all of the original cast to finish it all out. Nice try, but this is a swing and a miss. Do yourself a favor and just watch the series right up to this one and just stop. Like so many series in the past decade, the further they go, the worse they get. I'm just hoping that they do get the cast and writers of the original stories and put together at least one more before calling it quits. Regardless, this movie can be skipped and you won't miss anything.

I am a fanboy of fantasy movies, worship Lord of the Rings. I also really enjoyed the first 5 movies. I was willing to go easy on this movie and forgive a lot. But. The first five had what this movie is missing. I would say this is more of a play than a movie. Something very talented high schoolers would produce. And if you have not seen the first five, forget this one. Will make no sense. Has to be said that every actor gave it his all. It was a passion project, and it shows. The character named Stranger gave me Aragorn vibes for the first half of the flick. But that was not enough to make up for the shortcomings. The majority of the movie takes place inside the inn, in one room. A la 12 angry men style. I am pretty sure the low kickstarter budget of $200,000 had a lot to do with that. After a while the repeated placement shot of the outside of the inn followed by more time in the inn started getting stale. I had forgotten the previous movies were kickstarters and kept wondering why the set never changed. This gave the movie a "play" feel. I never had that feeling in the first five movies. The magical special effects were also pretty poor. And there was a lot less of them than in previous movies. They did little to sell the story or movie. But the unforgivable sin is the story. It is derivative and forgettable. There is very little character development. The villain at the end is so underdeveloped me and the wife did not care if he lived or died. We were indifferent. The previous movies were much better written and were properly paced with rich story telling. We cared about the characters. We were invested. This movie would barely make it as a tv episode. The movie ended and we were shocked at the underwhelming ending and poor general script. Maybe they had a lot less money for this one? I don't know. They setup a part 7. Story continues. But if they cannot recapture the magic of the first 5, it won't be worth making.

Got the special Kickstarter Blueray Edition signed by six actors/others with my name in the kickstarter credits on 2/15/2024 and have now watched it on 2/17/2024. So much has changed with the style and surroundings that it will take 2 watches to get used to it...as it is more personal story, driven with everyone having a past as they relate things they know sometimes at swords point. They gather on a dark and stormy night at dwarf Gib's Road Inn at Desolation's End. One of the best quotes "Witches don't ride horses.....they ride the wind"....many locals have not survived the last few days so it's a bit like Clue the game...some in the Inn will be carried out.....There is quite a bit about slave rules during the current time period and some of it is light hearted. Some slaves are like family...but life is rough all around as dark magic reasserts itself.

If you've ever seen and liked any of the screensavers on YouTube featuring a spooky house on a stormy night with lighting and a cosy log fire burning then this movie is for you as it is a little like that but with a who done it story added on. I think the older Mythica's were much better, I definitely enjoyed them more but I had to watch Stormbound in two parts as I was falling asleep. So I can't really recommend it unless you are a Mythica fan. Nowadays mateur special effects CGI typed stuff can be really impressive unfortunately the special effects in this movie were some of the worst I've ever seen. As for the main actors I liked the slave girl and Stranger they did a good job and the dwarf was good too.

This was an absolutely wonderful follow up to the original 5 Mythica films. It takes place 19 years after the demise of Szorlock, and the Red Thorns have become the stuff of legends. Their stories are told around campfires, but the effects of war still run deep and have hardened most. Vytalion soldiers are hunted and killed. A gloom seems to hang over most as if they know they aren't quite out of the dark yet. I don't know if it was due to budget restraints, but they chose to set the film mostly in a single location. An inn, where they have all sought shelter from the storm. It felt as if Patrick Rothfuss wrote the Hateful Eight. Most characters here aren't who they pretend to be, and secrets are revealed slowly and done very well, and Will Kemp does a fantastic job as The Stranger. His secrets, and connections to the Red Thorns, brought a smile to my face. You do see a couple familiar faces, a "blink and you'll miss it" tribute to Daegan, the half elf thief, but over all this is a brand new cast of characters, all of which I would gladly watch in a new batch of sequels. The cgi effects are also fantastic for the beast which the stranger has captured, although lacking for the guardian owl. But I've always found poor cgi charming in a way, especially in the Mythica films, because you know it was all done with so much passion and love that it hardly feels like a criticism at all.

Mythica: Stormbound has an engaging storyline and strong performances. The shut-in setting at the beginning of an inn due to a storm made the writing and performances all the more important, and they delivered, keeping my interest. The addition of magic adds a fun element to the narrative. The sound design, especially the music and storm effects, creates a compelling atmosphere. Ryann Bailey and Will Kemp stand out with impressive performances. Bailey's emotion comes through clearly and I wish I could throw off a cape and draw a weapon with Kemp's flair. Despite its low budget, "Mythica: Stormbound" is well-crafted and thoroughly enjoyable. A must-watch for fantasy fans.
