Storyline

An Elvish tree, known as the Ellcrys, is dying. The bad news is that the tree has been the only piece of magic that protects the Four Lands from the Demon World. Amberle Elessedil is the only one who can save the tree. But she has to unlock magic that the Elves haven't used in thousands of years. With the help of Wil Ohmsford, she travels to find the lost magic. But it won't be an easy task. Written by Chris Green

Just when you thought it couldn't be any cheesier...
24 March 2016 | by – See all my reviews

Just watch anything else. Trust me. I LOVE fantasy. I LOVE sci-fi. This is neither. The costumes, the story-line, the 5000 year old TRUCKS that still has tires? The make-up, the stiff acting. Did I mention the story-line? Because there really isn't one. The thinnest gruel of a series EVER. Oliver Twist would have died of starvation on the first page had he been served something so vehemently thin and totally bland. Just don't. I wish I could have done something else with my life instead of watching those first 3 episodes. In the vain hope it would "pick up". It didn't. The best acting is done by....(spoiler alert!) the Tree!
