Midnight Chronicles - any good?

[Ghostwind]

Has anyone seen the FFG DVD release of Midnight Chronicles? If so, is it any good? I'm assuming it has to be at least as good as a Scy-Fy original movie. It cant' suck more than that can it?

Haven't seen it but what reviews I have dug up haven't been very flattering....

I saw it at last year's GenCon.

I thought it was pretty good for a TV series pilot. It was shaky and had some issues, but then, what pilot doesn't? Had it gone to series, I'd certainly have watched it.

However, I'm afraid that as a standalone movie, it doesn't hold up.

managed to dig up a copy.
Not bad. I actually liked it a lot. As a pilot for a TV series it's pretty good. Acting wasn't too bad, most of the characters were interesting, and the makeup on the orcs was good. Only problem IMO, is too many characters, not enough focus. Production quality was about what you would expect for a fantasy tv show, about the same as Legend of the Seeker.
Really liked the main bad guy.
