Synopsis
Heavenly Sword (2014) is a feature-length animated fantasy actioner drawn from the console game of the same name, and you can watch it online on iFILM. It follows Nariko, a warrior from an ancient clan that has guarded a magical blade of immense power for centuries.
Legend says the sword belongs to a reborn deity who will bring peace to the land. But the cruel King Bohan wants it for himself, forcing Nariko to take up the weapon she was only meant to deliver — even as it slowly drains the life of whoever wields it. Anna Torv, Alfred Molina and Thomas Jane lend their voices to the leads.
Director Jang Gun-ho built the movie largely out of the game's cinematics and combat, so fans of Heavenly Sword get it as a continuation of a story they already know. Anyone chasing deep drama should skip it; anyone who enjoys animated swordplay and magic will settle in just fine. Stream Heavenly Sword (2014) online on iFILM.
