Mythica: A Quest for Heroes Trailer (2014)

Trailer for Mythica: A Quest for Heroes.

Stuck in a life of indentured servitude, Marek dreams of becoming a wizard. When she meets a beautiful priestess, Teela, in need of help, Marek escapes her master and puts together a team of adventurers - including Thane the warrior and Dagen the half-elf thief – and embarks on an epic quest to free Teela’s sister from orcs and ogres. After raiding the orc camp, the group learns that Teela’s sister has been taken into the mountains by a giant ogre. Escaping hellhounds and dragons on their dangerous journey, the team find themselves hopelessly outmatched by the man-eating ogre, and must unite all their talents to free the prisoners and escape with their own lives.

Thinking Mythica: A Quest for Heroes looks like a made-for-TV feature? Well, you are right. Featuring a mixture of excellent special effects combined with CG that is so bad you wonder just when they ran out of budget, the film actually succeeds at exceeding expectations. Premiering on the SyFy Channel, the film did well enough to kick off a Kickstarter campaign in hopes of creating a sequel. Raising $81,000, that was enough funds to get Mythica: The Darkspore into production. The film might -- and we do mean might -- eventually lead to a franchise with five feature-length films.

Perhaps worth a watch?
