Viking Destiny

***Superb colorful Norse adventure/fantasy highlighted by protagonist Anna Demetriou*** The sole rightful heir of a Scandinavian kingdom (Anna Demetriou) is unjustly exiled and must survive the unforgiving wilderness while figuring out a way to win back her father’s throne. "Viking Destiny" (2018) may be low-budget, but it’s superb for what it is: A simple heroic fantasy flick with a compelling story that flows, great Irish locations, colorful cinematography & costumes, an effective score, a quality cast, and a runtime that doesn’t overstay its welcome (the credits start rolling at 84 minutes). I’m assuming the events take place during the Viking era, 793–1066 AD. In any case, Anna Demetriou is both beautiful and convincing as the Viking princess, a thoroughly worthy protagonist.
