Summary: A new version of the classic tale of Jason's epic journey to gain the Golden Fleece.
From the Director of 1999's made-for-TV hit ALICE IN WONDERLAND comes a film inspired by the Greek mythological hero Jason (London) and his epic quest for the Golden Fleece to help regain his rightful claim to the throne in the kingdom of Thessaly. With the help of Hera, the Queen of Gods, he recruits a crew of Argonauts to man his ship in an expedition which propels them into a realm of mythical adventures and monstrous creatures.

This version of Jason and the Argonauts is not a remake of the classic 1963 Ray Harryhausen feature, but a new re-telling of the Greek legend. It takes just as many liberties with the saga, but--with a running time twice as long as the original--it packs in much more of the story, building to an exciting finale filled with betrayal, retribution and copious sword-play. Made by mini-series specialists Hallmark, who also produced a lavish version of Homer's The Odyssey (1997), only the rapid fades where the commercial breaks would be really give away the fact that this is a TV feature. The multinational cast is variable, and while Jason London is unhappily wooden in the title role, such stars as Denis Hopper and Frank Langella are good value, American accents aside. Coming straight from the big screen sword and sandal epic, Gladiator, Derek Jacobi adds sheer class, while Jolene Blalock makes a breathtaking debut as Medea. The visual atmosphere is strong; the superb cinematography varying between lush beauty and the stark, sun-bleached look of Pitch Black. Production values are excellent, with several increasingly powerful and spectacular action set-pieces incorporating outstanding (for TV) CGI effects, the whole being immeasurably lifted by British composer Simon Boswell's splendid musical score.--Gary S.
