KING ARTHUR AND THE KNIGHTS OF THE ROUND TABLE

Cinemavixion Review

Jared Cohn's "King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table" (2017) reinvents the legendary tale by transplanting it to modern-day Thailand, infusing it with sci-fi elements. The narrative follows Penn, a descendant of King Arthur, who must embrace his heritage when the sorceress Morgana and her son Mordred return from cosmic banishment with advanced alien technology. The film, starring Sara Malakul Lane, Eoin O'Brien, and Alexander Winters, attempts a unique blend of ancient myth and futuristic conflict. While the premise offers a fresh take, the execution, as reflected in its IMDb rating of 2.2/10, suggests a challenging reception. Nevertheless, for viewers seeking an unconventional Arthurian adventure that ventures into unexpected territory, this low-budget production offers a distinctive, albeit flawed, cinematic experience.
