I watched this movie for the first time ever on the Sci Fi channel and I must say.. it was simply awesome. For those of you whom loves 'The Never Ending Story' this is one that would bring back memories of that movie. Even though it is a 1996 movie it has a hazy like setting and look which makes it feel like it is, a fantasy. The acting was brilliant and the music was great especially the beginning battle song and end song. To those of you who have yet to see it, WATCH IT! I recommended completely!
Plot summary
In a mythical kingdom among the clouds, one young stable boy named James dreams of glorious deeds following his older brother, a king's guard, and to catch the eye of little princess Stephanie. But, when the kingdom falls under attack from air pirates and horrified by the destruction, the King orders his most trusted advisor, the magician Aeschylus, to create a device to end all wars. The result is a magical clock with the power to control time itself, to make years be reduced to seconds and a lifetime to pass in an instant. Refusing to wield such huge power, the King orders Aeschylus to destroy the clock and its plans. That night, however, the magician is killed by orders of evil sorceress Karnissa, who steals the clock and unleashes a curse upon the kingdom. As everyone grows old, James most embark on a race against time to save his land, his love, and the world from destruction.—LuisHD

Awesome
if you like fantasy, sit and watch; if not, run other way
Satisfying fantasy with ships sailing thru clouds with cannons, evil plotters, strange landscapes, manipulations of time, great sets, void of reality, maybe like Never Ending Story or some Merlin stuff. If you like that, you'll love it. Christine Taylor is beautiful. Sword fighting is phoney. Music is delightful. Good wins out, they kiss, all is well, and the cook is pleased.
Tacky tacky tacky!
I'm usually quite tolerant of movies, and very easily entertained, however this movie was dreadfully disappointing.
I watched this movie after seeing on the cover that William Zabka was in it (The Karate Kid bad boy) and during this movie I could see that this would be the only reason.
This film is a tremendous waste of the actors talent. The music, and sound is dreadfully tacky - I couldn't believe this of a movie made in the 90's!
I wouldn't really recommend this movie unless you're interested in one of the actors.
