To story <em>and</em> visuals. Again, I think some will be drawn to it, to the plot, to the characters, and others won't be. I don't pass judgment on either view. I will say, the actor who played Alexandria does a very good job. She is a sympathetic character in many ways. Remarkable for one so young. The stunt man also has his moments. I imagine the production of the film was an amazing experience for those involved. At least 18 countries for on location filming. Must have been quite the adventure. Fitting for an adventure/fantasy film.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('359','Cuchulain'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('359','Cuchulain','Definitely go into it with an open mind.

That is because, as you describe the situation, it reminds me of (1) Othello, (2) the relationship between the burn victim and the nurse in <em>The English Patient</em> and (3), of all things, Sheherazade. At least give the 'story' a shot. Thanks so much!<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('358','Robert Mueller'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('358','Robert Mueller','I am drawn to the film and want to see it because of the stunning and innovative visual features, but I am also inclined to give it a chance in terms of story.
