Helping to define my childhood
Posted .I had lots of favorites as a kid. Superman, Spider-Man, Wonder Woman, He-Man, Weird Science, Elvira: Mistress of the Dark, so many more... and Krull. I would watch it whenever it came on TV. When I would visit my grandparents, I would get them to rent it on VHS(since we didn't have a VCR at home), and I would watch it REPEATEDLY! I'm sure they tired of it quickly, but they tolerated it because of how much they could see I loved it. When I got older and graduated to DVD, I was elated to eventually find it and snatch it right up! None of the magic was lost, of course. However, as an adult, I could see the obvious cult appeal as it was by no means an Oscar contender on any level. Still, the magic remained. A gigantic alien castle-ship invading a gorgeous Arthurian-like planet(GREAT cinematography!). Horrific looking aliens with laser weapons that reminded me of the original V. An alliance between rival kingdoms to battle the alien menace, cemented by the marriage of Prince and Princess. The new King's quest to rescue his bride and slay the Beast. And the ancient and powerful Glaive! **..shudders..** Oh, I wanted one of those!! Still do, actually! Classic and, at the same time, totally original!! No, the acting was not Oscar-caliber, but there were some not-yet-realized gigantic talents in that movie!! Robbie Coltrane(Harry Potter's 'Hagrid') as Rhun and Liam Neeson(Duh!) as Kegan. Even Ken Marshall went on to play one of my favorite recurring characters on Star Trek: Deep Space Nice, Lieutenant Commander Michael Eddington, who would leave Starfleet to join the rogue Maquis. GREAT story line, and Ken was GREAT in it!! Thing is, I don't believe Krull was ever meant to be an Oscar contender. Someone had an idea. King Arthur vs. space aliens!! And it was BEAUTIFUL!! And let me tell you something, here... the time is ripe for a sequel!! :-D I've had the perfect story line for a sequel for years!!! Pure magic! Would I recommend Krull to a friend!? You bet!! In fact, I've had to place my order for the new Blu-ray with Amazon since it's already back-ordered at Best Buy. :-( :-D

5.0 out of 5 stars Is Krull technically a good mov
||Posted .Owned for 7 months when reviewed.s Krull technically a good movie? No. Did I have a blast watching it? ABSOLUTELY! Krull is a campy fusion of sci-fi and fantasy, which despite being set in a fictional world, leaves no doubt in your mind it was made in the 80s. While the characters, dialogue, and plot are entertainingly cheesy, sometimes the movie can be surprisingly beautiful to look at. As far as good bad movies go, this one is pretty darn good bad.

Solid Transfer
||Posted .The high definition picture is stunning and blows away the picture quality of the DVD. I watched the first 30 minutes or so looking at the background scenery before I realized I wasn't listening to what was going on. If you are a fan of the movie, the Blu-Ray is a must-have.

Worth it for the music score!
||Posted .Owned for 1 month when reviewed.Every fantasy movie collection must have this classic. While not as well known as others, it does deserve a spot next to them. Clearly inspired (somewhat) by Star Wars, the movie starts off fast and doesn't let up as the heroes try to stop the evil force from taking over their world. The best part of the movie is the awesome music from acclaimed composer James Horner. You'll recognize his style immediately from the opening scene and it really helps to set the tone. Another movie styled similar to this was Flash Gordon with Queen doing the entire soundtrack. It just makes the movie that much more enjoyable.

Enjoyable
||Posted .A fantastic older sci-fi movie. Good picture quality and sound, only problem is that there are no subtitles on the disc (Or at least they wouldn't work on my xbox one media player).
