Just watched this for the first time, despite this being around since 2004. Visually this is a very impressive film. Surprising to hear and see Judi Dench making such a role in this but it does make sense for the fantasy setting.
This film really is about the physical design and costumes than anything else. It sits very much close to the visuals of Dune, and it appears to have similar concepts in weaponry . It’s almost like high fantasy but set in space with a little dash of Conan the Barbarian in Space feel to it.
