CriticsCritics: 65
AudienceAudience: 7.2

After leaving his peaceful island kingdom to fight in a legendary war, a resourceful warrior faces a perilous journey home. Along the way, he encounters monsters, treacherous seas, enchantresses, divine forces, and the mysterious Underworld while those he left behind await his return.

My take

You’ll enjoy this if you like mythic adventures, determined heroes, and classic stories given a grand TV treatment; Not for you if slow pacing, dated effects, or uneven performances are dealbreakers.
