It is not deep, but it is fun to watch. It does have a bit more of an edge to it than other similar films.

An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

If they spent more than $100 making this they were robbed. The script is awful, the acting abysmal and the sets hilarious. My advice, don't waste valuable time watching this tripe. I cant honestly think of anything that was worth while watching. It is supposed to be based on the myth of the Minotaur, but the lead actor is so bad at acting. I have to mention the Kiwi accent of the male star that it's hard to take anything seriously right from the start. I'm surprised that SyFy channel even bothered to air this. Even the props were funny, but most of all was the plot. I've never sat through so much trash in all my life.

This movie is so horrible, it's hilarious! My friend and I watched this mainly because of Manu Bennett who plays Crixus in the show Spartacus. The acting was atrocious and slightly below the talent level of a group of third graders in their school play. But while it was utterly dreadful, it made my night! I was in hysterics throughout the whole entire movie. Words cannot describe how bad this movie is. You really have to see it to know what I'm talking about. If you want a good laugh, you should give this movie a go. It's about an hour and a half long, but I have a feeling that half of that was filler because they repeated themselves so often. It was either to give the movie some length or to recap what's been happening in case you weren't paying attention ten minutes ago. I don't think this constitutes as a spoiler, but I'll check the box in case; Sinbad has a catchphrase. "Details!"

The movie is no "Lord of the Rings," of course, but given the constraints of budget and more limited application of SFX, it is fairly acceptable, quite watchable, and better than the majority of recent low-budget productions that one can see on the SyFy channel these days. There is humor and deliberate irony of classic myth, as well as self-conscious parody at times, which, I believe, goes quite well to disperse any attempts to take things all too seriously. The acting is also acceptable - this particular representation of Sinbad, for example, just like Beowulf, is supposed to be a blend between the arrogance, yet zesty adventure-loving nature of an Indiana Jones and the ridiculous ego-mania of a Narcissus - and the lead delivers both reasonably well. Do not expect a great adventure tale; yet, the movie is fair and definitely watchable...

There used to be A-Movies and B-Movies. This is a Z-Movie. After watching the first half, I decided to bail. Because I needed to brush my teeth and that was much more interesting than any masochistic urge to continue hurting my eyes with this tripe.In all seriousness, this was made in my home town, and I would dearly love to offer some support to our ailing industry. But to be brutally honest - after the embarrassing travesty of another recent Australian film - "Tomorrow, When the War Began" - I thought things couldn't get worse. Well they have. Much worse in fact. I don't know where to begin in trying to offer a sensible review: perhaps suffice to say try and think of the worst movie you have seen in your life. Well this is a new candidate for that title. I truly can't think of a single positive aspect to this movie. It's about Sinbad???Maybe...just maybe, your 4 year old might like this on DVD.So unless you work for the studio and are forced to watch this, please save your time and money and do something more productive with your time.1/10
