Paula Patton, best known from films like 2 Guns, Mission Impossible Ghost Protocol, Déjâ Vu, and Traffik, stars alongside Vikings lead Travis Fimmel and the acclaimed Ben Foster in another perfectly encapsulated story arc from a video game, and then some. As 'fel'-infected orcs, led by an evil orc warlock, invade the human realm, a faction of rebels helps the king and his wizard defeat the evil magic.
Based on the popular multiplayer fantasy war game, but rewritten to include a touching father and son story to contrast all the war and magic. Paula's Garona also shows some depth of character in an otherwise obvious casting and acting. The unnecessary Shakespearean contemplations by the King's wizard, the basic soldier concept, and the Camelot king acts are shallow at best.
While secondary actors let it down, the sets, CGI, and LOTR-type vistas propped it up... a bit.
Not the worst nor the best. A good entry, and hopefully, they can build from there unless the upcoming D&D film overshadows it!
