Story? Hmmm. A little of this and a little of that. With some powerful elements - love is loyal no matter what. Love never gives up in its quest for the beloved! Also elements of father/son quest.
The "ruler" reminded me the Star Wars' emperor; the "Egyptian" type world reminded me of "Star Gate."
Acting? Sorta okay. Nothing stunning, too often lacking personal intensity. Though the bad guys are pretty bad, played with some subtlety, especially by Affif Ben Badra.
Special effects? Good, but rarely spectacular. The "spear tooth" tiger is great; so are the Wooly Mammoths. The "red birds" caught my eye - clever imagery.
Music, cinematography? Good.
Put it all together, a film I enjoyed, but wouldn't likely see again.
Worth seeing?
Yup!
