Could be the beginning of a great saga This film is great, believable action, characters and setting. Good soundtrack, charismatic actors, it's well paced and has decent camera work. The story has a certain pen and paper role-playing feel to it, we have a party of adventurers going on a quest, and there aren't many movies made like that. The novelty of it aside, it never gets boring due to its plot twists and realistic looking action. There is an epic historic novel called "Raptor" which has a similar story, at least the first few pages of it. When "Pilgrimage" ends you can't help but wonder what happens to the young monk going out into the world after being cloistered away for his whole life. 7 July 2017 I am migrating my reviews from a different site which has become simply garbage. TMDB looks awesome and I look forward to be a part of it.
