Mythica: Stormbound

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.

I was not prepared for this movie. This is clearly Arrowstorm's best work. The cinematography looks the best so far, especially for a low budget movie. Most of the story takes place in an inn on a dark and stormy night, but the way the plots and stories are interwoven makes for a very gripping movie.

I loved the actors chosen. The characters were well developed and fleshed out. The main primary story felt like a tale from the Witcher's world, and the main protagonist felt like a Witcher. There were a lot of great twists and turns and reveals.

This is a great continuation of the Mythica series and I WANT MORE! The written was really well done. It told a better story of Rey and Anakin combined than either of those stories did. This was really compelling. I like the the first Mythica, Necromancer and GodSlayer. GodSlayer definitely being the best, but I would be lying if I didn't at least acknowledge there is a chance this is the best movie so far.

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.

It's not really like the other Mythica movies... There's a few names thrown around, and that's about it. As for the return of the original members- unlike Stormoen says- don't expect anything great. It's almost comedic, and won't even be seen if you're not paying attention. 90% of the movie takes place inside an Inn (storm bound). Wasn't very reminiscent of the other movies in my opinion. Much less than I expected. A tired plot, easy to figure out and predict from the "whodunnit" to the owl in the rafters- not really any surprises anywhere in it. Doesn't look like much went into it. The costumes are great and the actors worked well with what they had... But overall, a letdown.

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.
