I have to laugh at how many people simply don't understand film budgets. They make comparisons to films like Lord of the Rings...but. LotR spent several TIMES more just on their craft services than it cost to make this movie.
This is a low-budget (low/mid-6 figures US dollars) indie film. For the cost, it has: good acting, good action scenes, an OK script, and pretty good CGI effects.
As others have said: it's like a D&D game come to life, but you don't have to play (or even like) D&D to enjoy this film. It's a very straightforward fantasy adventure suitable for fans of all ages. (There's no nudity, mild curses with "made up" words, and limited blood/gore.)
At a time when so many films go WAY over the top on SFX, this is a nice throwback to more simple/practical effects (and some nice CGI to fill in the gaps).
I'm looking forward to watching the other films in the series.
