Anyone seen it yet, was it OK? I tried watching it but our broadband is just too unstable, I may try getting up really early when the user rate is low and trying it again.
The wee bit I did see looked good, and the low budget feel didn't put me off at all. In fact I feel Tolkien would approve.

I saw it (though it took me days before my internet would load it) and it is a great indie film. You can see some places where the low-budget shows, but it is still an enjoyable film and story.
I woke early(5am) to watch it.....I'm not generally given to melodramatics, though I'm finding as I get older certain moments in books and movies make me bawl like a big girls blouse, and this was no exception.
Though prolly not in the place's I expected
*****warning spoilers for those who haven't seen the film*****
Kate Madison(who I've fallen completely in love with......hope my wife doesn't read this LOL) who was the director and producer also played a new character created especially for this film, by the name of Elgarain. She was rescued as a child by Arathorn after her father was killed (by the Orcs I presume) and became one of his Rangers. It becomes fairly obvious that she's in love with him but of course Arathorn's eyes are only for Gilraen.
Elgarain also has a admirer (not sure who he is, another made up character I guess) but of course she is blinded by her love for Arathorn and bla bla, soppy soppy.
Anyway, near the end of the film just before the Orcs attack she finely decides to leave, only to have her admirer stop her and declare his love for her, her eyes are opened and they're about to run off together when the Orcs arrive and battle ensues, Elgarain lose's her new found love and then dies herself, and I bawled like a big baby. It was prolly one of the most touching moments I've seen in a movie.
But when Arathorn died......nothing......Perhaps because I knew it was going to happen, I don't know.
Anywho, I highly recommend this film and say Bravo to Kate Madison and her team, well done, and thanks for a great film.
