CriticsCritics: 29

After a powerful villain seizes a fortress on a distant world, a heroic warrior and his allies flee through a stolen portal and become stranded on Earth. Two teenagers discover the device that can reopen the gateway, drawing them into a dangerous conflict between worlds.

My take

You may enjoy this as dated, campy 1980s fantasy with colorful villains and nostalgic charm; Not for you if you want polished effects, faithful world-building, or consistently serious storytelling like Krull.
