This is a disjointed film that uses religious symbolism. This has that Mel Gibson's Apocalypto vibe but that was action packed whereas this film is so much more reserved. I had high hopes for this but as I watched it just felt this is come short, which proved to be the case. The ending is a bit of a let down.

Two extra stars for effort
I knew this was low budget while I was watching it but I didn't know HOW low budget it was. It is impressive that they managed to tell this story with less than 150k, so kudos to everyone involved. It looked great, the sound was awesome, and it had some good acting too, even if some of the accents were distracting. It was more slow and artsy than I was expecting, but not bad. Recommended if you're into this type of experimental films.
A compelling world.
I was very intrigued with the world the story is set in. The costumes, the ambience in general, the cultures, it all felt rich and left with plenty of room to explore. If the story were to continue, I think it would work better as a series, instead of a trilogy. This is not your regular action-adventure fantasy film. It is an indie-slow burn- mystery with little magic/sorcery (which is as much as I like anyways). Looking forward to explore more of this world.
