caspare The movie is typical, unfortunately, for the current German movie maker culture. Neither the plot, nor the acting, nor the camera really is the problem: LANGUAGE is. All actors MUMBLE! They speak like teenagers at a low education level. While this this actually might reflect the situation pretty well, however, it still is unbearable. Otherwise, the movie is not that bad. Watch it sub-titled, you might be fine. In addition to that, it doesn't involve lots of good music. I missed some music underlining the potentially dramatic situations (there were plenty) but the soundtrack would have been suitable for any B-movie, it was totally unspecific. I found it boring to watch. It is a bit funny, sometimes, but I'm afraid this was rather unintended.

piratecat-2 I am glad I rented this at a discount. It was tuff to watch. Just boring as all get out. A "B" movie to be sure. You need to have 2 litre bottles of mountain dew to stay awake. It should not have been that long. Just make it quick and end it. The Germans need a lot of work when making an action flick. Could you have gotten any worse of an actor to play the star Luke Skywalker. The father mopes around. The mother gropes around. It trys to be a empire strikes back, indiana jones, blade, highlander, apocalypse now, and da vinci code all in one. Man it sucks. But theirs a few spots that could of had promise. Bad story with no direction. Visual effects poor and slow. Dvds should end up on I40 truck stops.

akmarzik I really liked this movie very much. It tells a moving story in a quite straightforward way. The viewers are immediately drawn to identify with the main character David, an orphan who gradually discovers his roots and with them a feud of several centuries' duration that he suddenly finds himself involved in.The acting was quite good, especially the young couple (I already liked Alicja Bachleda-Curus in "Sommersturm"). And there are some very nice swordfighting scenes between the two rivalling orders.Some characters were too transparent from the beginning (I knew the villain after five minutes) and they seem to have borrowed some traits from other movies (X-men, Indiana Jones), but hey! this is a young director. And he took on quite a big issue: some of the great relics of Christianity (the Holy Grail etc.), the Order of the Temple, ancient rivalry, two love stories....(no wonder there are a few loose ends).All in all, it's really worth watching. I enjoyed it immensely!
