Thoughts:   Seven scrolls grant power and prosperity to their owner, and a prophecy says that someone with Royal blood will harness this power and rule over all. And nations now fight to possess the scrolls.

I like the premise but that's about it.

This lacks direction, with too many inconsequential side passages, and the acting is generally quite weak. They aren't helped by a lame script.

It's clearly low budget but it's still disappointing to only really see the aftermath of a battle before the questing begins. But you end up caring little for anyone involved.

The side parts ruin the narrative pace and whilst some of the leads show potential they don't really get given a chance. It just fizzles out.
