It was ok. Far better than the usual SF fare. Read the books back when I was a kid. They picked and chose what they wanted to borrow. Overall not a bad low budget effort, but to do that world and the full story credit it would take a production at the level of the LOTR trilogy. This one often lacked scope, and sometimes did the silly 10 guys in armor represents an entrie army bit -- there were times it felt like an episode of Xena.
