The Guardians of Time

 Lazy sunday, so it is time for an easy on the mind fantasy flick, and this time it was The Guardians of Time.

Based on the young adult trilogy (which has now four books btw), this is a coming of age story with some fantastical elements to it.

Two sisters and their two nieces are in a manor or their bit eccentric uncle, when they discover a secret door.  This door brings them to the Kingdom of Keoherus, where they are heralded as the legendary heroes, The Guardians of Time.  This turns out to be in a book which the younger sister, Alex, had received from her uncle after finding his secret office, including a strange four armed clock.

In the mysterious lands, they meet Agot, a strange little creature that wants to act as their guide.  But soon after, Alex is split up from her siblings with Agot, and goes to the sorceress Greya.  The others meet the soldier Pamphilos, and both parties learn on how they must retrieve magical crystals to return home.

Asb they work towards that goal, it turns out Agot and Greya have a double agenda, and with the power of the stone she recovered, Alex turns to an adult version of herself, while Greya becomes a dragon.  The siblings reunite and try to make Alex see the error of her ways, and as she comes to realise her mistakes they must overcome Agot, who is actually the enemy titan Deimos.

With the help of their time travelling powers, they overcome him and get to return home, but it seems Pamphilos played a double role all the time...

It's a typical low budget fantasy flick.  The acting is rather cardboard, the CGI is poor and you see they have been standing before greenscreens almost all the film, so I doubt anything was made on location.  Yet, the story in itself in fine, of a young sister trying to live up to her older sister's model, but to be honest, I doubt there will be more instalments in this series...
