I am not only a reviewer for The Asylum and their films but I have became a fan as well, "getting" what the were doing. When I first saw the trailer for Merlin I have to admit I was not overly excited by it but was still looking forward to seeing the finished project before making a judgement and to my joy it turned out to be a fun and highly entertaining movie. For starters I think the entire cast did a great job here, Jurgen Prochnow is always a star performer and here is no different, he does a fantastic job as Mage. Also newcomer, Simon Lloyd Roberts was terrific as the young Merlin. I look to see a lot more work from this young actor in the future. The CGI is fantastic, some of the best I have seen in an Asylum film, the dragons design as well was simply awesome and the were used perfectly to enhance the film. The story was well-told and the film has plenty of action as well so I was never once bored. If your a fan of this type of Fantasy adventure like I am then you are going to want to pick this up as I think you will enjoy this film as much as I did. Hats off to The Asylum and Director, Mark Atkins for a job well done. I can only see The Asylum and their movies getting better over time and this is a big step in that direction with its fantastic CGI work and story-telling. Released by The Asylum Home Entertainment. **** Out Of *****
