This is really two films - one good the other not so good. On the positive side: the production, the location and overall look of the movie is impressive. It can't have had much of a budget so the use made of local scenery, light and shade works well to create the working scenario for the rest of it. Now that, sadly, is the bit that lets it down. The story centres around the search for the daughter of the Empress who has been missing since her people were conquered by the "Lothos". That quest reunited two estranged brothers "Marco" (Hector Escudero Lobe) and "Silas" (Arturo Lizardi) but what doesn't really ensue now is much by way of action or adventure. It's a bit wordy (with some unnecessarily thick accents) with some rather ropey political intrigue, and at times the narrative jumps around the timeline just once to often to readily follow. It's really got the feel of a short story to it, and stretching it out for just shy of one hundred minutes proves just a bit too difficult for the assembled talent in front of and behind the camera. It is worth a watch for the ambience of the thing, but that's the height of it I'm afraid.

This is not a real review, it should be taken more as a collection of impressions on the film.

This film doesn't have an ending, damn it, that is, there actually is an ending but it's not absolutely satisfactory and in my opinion this film deserved something better because at least the second part, even if boring, is cute and full of mystery. In my opinion the film is clearly divided into two parts, the first part is very boring and without rhyme or reason, in the second part however the film at least makes sense while remaining very boring and very slow but at least it captivates the viewer to the extent of the rubbish that it is the end. So the beginning is boring, the development is boring but at least it's interesting and the ending is boring and also bad.

This is a disjointed film that uses religious symbolism. This has that Mel Gibson's Apocalypto vibe but that was action packed whereas this film is so much more reserved. I had high hopes for this but as I watched it just felt this is come short, which proved to be the case. The ending is a bit of a let down.
