In the movie Viking Destiny, a young Viking princess named Helle (played by Anna Demetriou) discovers that she is the chosen one who must fulfill a prophecy and save her people from a powerful sorcerer named Ragnar (played by Martyn Ford). Along the way, she is aided by a band of warriors including a legendary Viking king named Steinar (played by Laurence O'Fuarain) and an old sage called the High Priestess (played by Terence Stamp).
The film opens with Helle's father, the King of Volsung (played by Will Mellor) dying in battle against Ragnar. Helle is then forced to flee her home with her younger brother and a few loyal followers. She soon learns that she possesses a mysterious golden amulet that gives her magical powers and is the key to defeating Ragnar. However, getting to Ragnar proves to be easier said than done, as he has assembled a powerful army of undead soldiers and is protected by his own magic.
As Helle and her group travel through treacherous terrain, they encounter various challenges and obstacles. They manage to form alliances with other Viking clans and even enlist the help of a giant (played by Scott Fitzgerald) to aid them in their quest. Along the way, Helle also learns more about her own past and the true nature of her powers.
The film is a mix of fantasy, action, and adventure, with plenty of epic battle scenes and magical moments. The special effects are impressive for a low-budget movie, particularly the scenes involving the undead soldiers and Helle's magical abilities.
One of the strongest aspects of Viking Destiny is its cast. Anna Demetriou does a good job of playing the determined and fierce Helle, while Laurence O'Fuarain brings gravitas to the role of the legendary king Steinar. Terence Stamp, though only appearing in a handful of scenes, is always a welcome presence with his commanding voice and presence.
However, the film is not without its flaws. Some of the dialogue can be clunky, particularly when characters try to explain the mythology and backstory of the world. There are also a few moments where the pacing drags, particularly in the middle section of the film.
Despite these issues, Viking Destiny is an enjoyable and entertaining movie. It won't win any awards for originality or depth, but it delivers on its promise of a thrilling adventure with plenty of heroic moments and magical battles. Fans of Viking stories and fantasy films should definitely give it a watch.
Viking Destiny is a 2018 adventure movie with a runtime of 1 hour and 31 minutes. It has received poor reviews from critics and viewers, who have given it an IMDb score of 4.3 and a MetaScore of 25.
