This is a slow-paced, action/adventure movie that tells an interesting story. The film lingers on gorgeous shots of the landscape or on characters traveling and having conversations. It doesn't plod along like Lord of the Rings, but rather disperses these slow, drawn-out moments in between bursts of intense, bloody action scenes. While this pace would be boring in other movies, the beautiful cinematography and the sweeping, emotional musical score keeps you hooked. It's a great journey.
