Conan the Barbarian (3D)
It's "300" without the stylistic killings meets "Sinbad" meets a hunky hero without the Arnold accent. A warrior woman's battle bred son, Conan, is born by combat Cesarean and thus the bloody legend begins. Big battle scenes and good villains are the high points. The lack of 3D effects in a 3D film are the low points (the only noticeable 3D effects are of the opening studio logo and the ending film credits). An evil tyrant with a Freddy Kruger armed voodoo daughter searches for bone shards of a power mask and the pretty "Polly" pureblood so he can regain his mate and become a god. At least 3 CGI expert teams (Bulgarian, Chinese, and Indian) drive this special effects spectacular. Alien found the sandmen particularly interesting. Don't be surprised by the nubile nakedness on this ride through Barbarian World where macho men grunt and howl in their victories.
Alien gives it 2 ½ "forged in Sumerian steel" stars out of 4.
