Driving no by his deep will of making a scientific journey and his admiration for discovery and adventures, Jonathan Green, a young ambitious and courageous cartographer, makes a long journey from Europe to the East, where he finds himself in a small lost village, where he sees mysteries, as the people of the village are weird and different from any creatures.
The visuals are enough of a reason to give it a watch, but the film as a whole becomes a mostly forgettable mash of entertaining effects and dull interactions.
FORBIDDEN EMPIRE is wild and colorful and exciting and funny; it's neck-deep in witches and monsters and magic and devilry. It's a bit of a mess, but it's the sort of mess more movies should make of themselves.
