best movie i've ever seen.

Admirable film.

It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

You see, average, disappointing movies get 4 or 5. Only true indie movies ever get 2 or 3. They are either too stupid, under-budget or unintentionally funny that they are worth seeing.Well, I wouldn't call this worth seeing. After all it is a bad script, terrible acting, clichéd story and '84 special effects are top of the line. But you can see that the people actually tried, even if completely lacking any talent. You get your evil wizard and his sexy fighting sidechick, you get the retired old good wizard and his lovely (ahem :( ) niece and a lot of secondary characters that either die in a blaze of ... magic or stick helplessly around. In the end good wins.Bottom line: this proves that anyone can make a movie. Even if almost a complete failure, at least it is not overrated: what you see is what you get. They have tried, gave their best, and I respect that.

Considering this was an Indy film with a modest budget, I was very impressed. My hat is off to Mr. Lechago for writing and directing an excellent story. The special effects were great. I enjoyed the characters, especially The Magus Fernos. Ron Fitzgerald really brought life to this role. I'm sure we will be seeing more of him in the future. Bill Steele and Lizzy Strain also delivered strong performances. Magus captured my attention from beginning to end. Michael Sean Colin did an outstanding job with the music. I have seen many films on Sci-Fi that can't hold a candle to Magus. All my best to everyone who worked on this film. Great job! This is a great Indy film with all the right elements.

This film is the Best Indy film I've seen yet - and I've seen quite a few. Director John Lechago has done more on screen with a small budget than most studios can do with a large one.For most people, they hear 'Indy film' and they think cheesy effects & no story line, but lots of nudity - this is just the opposite for this film.The plot is great - classic good vs. evil - right down to the use of red energy vs. blue energy ala Star Wars. The special effects are awesome for a low budget film - Mr. Lechago knows how to make his budget dollar stretch to maximum capacity for maximum screen effectiveness!The acting in this film was excellent - Lizzie & Julie Strain are gorgeous and very talented actresses! Eva Derrick plays her role of Sen (The Magus' ever-faithful servant, companion and warrior princess) quite well - her desire for his power is made quite apparent and is very believable. Master Ron Fitzgerald attacks his role as the evil Magus Fernos with a ferocious vengeance - he is a great actor! I look forward to seeing him in many more lead roles to come!Nudity? Yes, there's some - What would an Indy Movie Be without a little gratuitous boobage? (Thank you, Julie) However, it's not the only redeeming factor for this film, as is the case for most Indy films - it is merely a plus to the already captivating story.Perhaps one of the effects is not of the best quality, but you must remember that this is an Indy Film! That means SMALL (actually minuscule in most cases) budget! However, the Story line and acting abilities of the cast certainly make up for the one effect that is of questionable 'quality'.My hat is off to Mr. Lechago and the cast & crew - AWESOME!! It's definitely worth the purchase price! If you enjoy classic good vs. evil ala Harry Potter/Star Wars - You will enjoy this film - I Promise!

This movie sounded very cool when I heard about it first, but I was disappointed to find out it was almost nothing like I thought it was. I expected a grand adventure to hunt down the mighty Magus, but instead I was treated to a 3 person army of slightly worn-out "wizards" that obviously are no match for the "mighty" Magus.The conversations seem unrealistic at many points, the acting is a bit "forced" and I somehow get the feeling that I'm watching a toned-down version of power-rangers. Yes, that's right, I feel like I'm sometimes watching a kids-movie where they couldn't afford a fight-coordinator, and had to improvise the scenes themselves.The story in itself seems lousy at best, and contains the clichè characters struggling to discover their true lost/undiscovered strengths. I felt like I had seen this movie many times before..There are a few upsides to this movie which must be mentioned. The magic-effects actually look good, though they seem a bit limited in number of different effects.. As a man, I definitely enjoyed the nudity (hehe..), and I liked the concept of the movie. I'm sad to say, the list of upsides stops around that point..All in all, it was *almost* worth watching, but definitely not worth paying for.. (and I put it that way because I'm nice..) During the movie I was struggling to keep me from shutting it off, and was left unimpressed at the ending screen. You can easily skip this movie, unless you really enjoy the concept of "real" magic, and want to see a few nice magic-effects. But honestly, you would MUCH rather just watch the Harry Potter movies for that.
