What if you heard about two brothers who had large homeschooling families and these families decided to make a movie based on the history behind the Arthurian legend?
How good would you expect the resulting film to be? Not as good as “Lord Of The Rings”, certainly. But almost certainly you wouldn’t expect it to be as good as this:
Our whole family (well, the kids between 6 and 12) watched and enjoyed it.
Don’t mistake me, it’s not perfect. But as a person who has been a leader of another artistic project while not being a professional artist, it was inspiring to see what could be done by amateurs.
So don’t buy it looking for Oscar worthy acting. See it for the history, the pretty good special effects, the costumes, sets and the impressive plot.
Also, it comes with a free Soundtrack CD. It’s good music.

Looks interesting. Where did you find this?

Very interesting. Have you read Stephen Lawhead’s Pendragon Cycle (series of 5 books that traces Arthurian England in a really good way)? I wonder if they draw from that at all.

Andy, at a home schooling website.
Bob, I have only heard good things about the Lawhead books, but haven’t read them.

If you ever wanted to borrow them…. I do have them. I’ll have to try out this movie sometime. Put it on my wish list.
