Format:DVD
As has already been pointed out, this movie is the pilot episode of "Midnight Chronicles", a future (let's hope) TV series based on the Roleplaying Game "Midnight". It's very different from the traditional fantasy movies: there are only two fighting scenes, and the first one is very short and... well, lame. However it's a must see for the fans of the RPG game and for those who are looking for something different.
But here's a warning for non-english speakers: this version of the DVD has no subtitles whatsoever (not even in english). Just so you know.

Easily the worst film I've seen in a long, long time.
From the cover and desciption, you'd think you were getting an epic LOTR type of film, in fact you're getting a cheap, poorly written, badly acted steamer of a film with no redeeming features at all.
The cover shows dragons, battalions of orcs letting off clusters of arrows, armies of men marching off to battle, flags held high..... none of which are in the film.
This in itself is a disgrace, but, what makes it worse, the story is dull beyond belief, the `action' scenes are so bad they are laughable and the acting is on par with one of those cheap US soaps.
People moaned about In The Name Of The King.
That was like Citizen Kane compared to this rot.
Do not buy this, I implore you. You'll just encourage a sequel and you can't hate the world that much.
Please.
For the love of God..........

This is based on the setting for a role play game called Midnight. The premise is that the Dark God was cast down onto the world and then sealed off. This has the effect of the mortals being cut off from the other Gods. The Dark God Izrador wages war and eventually wins. In Lord of the Rings terms Sauron won - advance 100 years.
This is a very small budget film, more accurately a pilot that the makers hope to turn into a series. It obviously does not have the gloss of the Middle Earth films. At times the budget shows but there are some nice effects in there. I thought the acting was fine, in terms of TV grade, there's no Hollywood stars here.
It's not perfect but a decent attempt. I want to see more, preferably as a series. There is a rich detailed setting that could really be fleshed in a series. It gets 3 stars. One deducted as it does lack a little gloss and the other deducted for the cover as whilst it's accurate to the setting, you don't see anything like that in the film

Appalling. If Tolkien was alive today he'd sue them for the rip-offs. Dreadful acting, dreadful script, dreadful everything. Read more

A refreshing change from average sword & sorcery.

great movie - if you mind the story and not the action
This is no "Lord of the Rings" - even though the film got some pretty nice landscape shots. But the budget did not allow big effects. Read more

Midnight
Although extremely low budget, this did have interesting characters and not a bad story. Role-players will probably get the most out of this.

Midnight Slow Boat
Very slow film. Does not say that it is only part 1 of a story. Good effects but a bit disappointing.

Midnight Chronicles
Very disappointed in this film, the story line was a bit confusing, slow action, no build up, not very good acting and then it ended, still unwise as to what this was trying to... Read more
