Most significantly, Kingdom's heartfelt performances and director Mudge's competent direction will keep you engaged through the duration.

Were it not for the novel USP of its setting, The Forgotten Kingdom would be classifiable as entirely unoriginal.

Some may find the end result a trifle predictable and too audience-pleasing in its final uplift, but for others that will be its unique selling point.

4/5

The resolution proves heartfelt and touching, and if the script sometimes waxes too mystical for its own good, the film's ultimately so genuine it's hard to resist.

The film is worth seeing for the beautiful locations alone. But what makes it 'awesome' for me is the story and the acting. The mystical part of the film will not be to some tastes, but I continue my spiritual journey and enjoy learning about the journey of others. I would very much like to see again the two young male actors, together sometimes a comedy duo, and the young female actor.

A beautiful journey that deviates too often from its own path.
