Skif (2018) Reviews

  • The Dark Ages, we missed you

    alschiller2018-09-08

    Its not a great scripts, its good and its ok. And its not hollywood acting and surpreme VFX art and CGI. But it is gritty, dirty and violent with a beautifull setting, with actors who really are doing their best to tell a good story. Its is like watching Conan again, and I loved it. If you are a film snob and only love movies for their what ever hidden agenda, its not a movie for you. This is a dirty, small budgettet, B movie with half naked ladies, violent men in a setting that leaves nothing but a raw taste of blood in your mouth.

  • The Scythian kills

    Grumphy2018-01-18

    The Scythian The story is fit for epic proportions, for the bards to sing songs and elders to tell tales for generations to come. Though perhaps predictable at times, it's a classic, in the sense of such myths as Jason and the Argonauts or even Odysseus for example. It is perhaps shadowed a little by somewhat forced dialogue at times. I am not entirely convinced though as I'm not that adept at Russian and don't know how solid or accurate were the subtitles, so the fault may lie in that as well. Acting seems to fit for the most part. Nothing that feels overly awkward. As they are the men of action, they let their fists and daggers and swords and bows and axes do the talking for the majority of the film. The lead seems out of place occasionally and I can't put my finger on it why exactly, but it's really not a that big of a concern because the decent pace will not allow to linger on any particular scene too long. Visually it has good with the bad. Set design and costumes are on point for the most part and feel authentic, but some the locations seem off. Fighting scenes and camerawork are quite well done, though editing seems a bit flimsy at times and therefore some key moments might fall a bit short. Literally even. Unfortunately it also seemed to be yet another retelling of not just the times when the men were Men, but when ugly was Ugly and beautiful was Beautiful. Which is pretty much every film since the invention of camera. A minor issue of course and most likely goes with the mythic theme, but still. Music fits well and helps to emphasize the scenes, sound mixing is enjoyable though, and it might be the language barrier again, I think I detected some syncing issues, but it might totally be my own imagination. Otherwise the scenes' and scenic atmosphere is well created. The adventure is engaging and despite some missteps, you'll enjoy the ride. The action is satisfyingly brutal and better than in many Hollywood's high budget projects. Perhaps mostly because the executives aren't as greedy to force PG-13 ratings on just to cash in slightly more dough. Irrelevant, but I bet that The Dark Tower, for example, would've produced completely different results without these utterly stupid restrictions. But I digress. It's not going to be the best film of the year, but you will enjoy it. Perhaps even enough to watch it again sometime, should you catch it from the telly. It is a solid effort. The pace will carry you through before you know it. Perhaps even leaving you longing for more.

  • Shut your trap and fight.

    nogodnomasters2018-09-03

    This is a Russian film that takes place about 1100AD in Tmutarakan, located between the Black and Caspian Seas, along the Silk Road. There is a remnant band of Scythians, a very pagan group of mercenaries who worship Ares. The film centers on Lutobar (Aleksey Faddeev) who is the title character. He is a loyal follower of his Lord who is at odds with the Scythians. Lutobar is forced to recuse his kidnapped family, having to undergo many fights and forming an unusual alliance with Marten....seriously, his name is Marten. On the surface, the film is just another mindless Conan antics. In the end, we discover betrayal that makes it more akin to a Shakespearean play, minus the clever dialogue. Guide: No swearing. Brief partial nudity. English dubbed and subtitled.

  • Great Flick!

    When I grew up I watched movies like Conan the Barbarian and still love the genre. This movie is the first for a long time that captures that "feel" again. I absolutely loved it!

  • Solid dark ages style action flick.

    prendj012018-08-23

    There are only two negative reviews for this film. It's a shame really to have any but you will always get one person moved to write a review who thinks every movie has to be high art. Then yet another paranoid soul who is convinced every good review of a B grade independent movie must be associated with the production. Thankfully neither of these things is true and if you want a solid Conan style action flick set in a dark ages type period this lives up to that wish. The movie has a good feel and moves along nicely after the first twenty minutes. It takes a while to fit all the players into there places but once the action starts you will know who's who and enjoy watching their story arcs play out. I also see other reviews criticising the costuming, weaponry etc used. I thought they did a good job but I guess there is no accounting for taste.
