Usually I only post these announcements on [email protected], but Krull... well it's not a GREAT movie, but it's not quite a B movie either. It had a video game tie-in, a respectable budget, and it was aimed at being a hit. It's more like a first-run movie that didn't quite come off. But it has nostalgia value! And parts of it are pretty good!

Anyway, if you want to watch it this Sunday with a pack of fediverse wits and wisealecks, read on...

Krull is a 1983 British[1] science fantasy adventure film[2] ... The story follows Prince Colwyn (Marshall) and a fellowship of companions who set out to rescue his bride, Princess Lyssa (Anthony), from a fortress of alien invaders who have arrived on their home planet.

The film was a box-office bomb upon release, and critical opinion has been mixed, both upon release and in retrospect. Numerous reviewers have highlighted its visual effects and soundtrack, while several critics have criticized its plot as being derivative and nonsensical. In the years since its release, the film has developed a cult following.
