I liked watching this movie, it is one of a very few Bulgarian science fictionfantasy films made. Of course, visually it does not offer any particularly "fascinating", flashy graphic effects. The main strength as I see it is the script, which is quite intriguing, just as a good fantasy script should be. Points of reference would be the the StarWars series, to which "Trinaistata Godenica na Princa" pays homage - with the spaceboy's flashing sword, and the weird-talking robot. The action however takes place in a wacky Middle-Age kingdom, with the aliens studying closely the intrigues and extreme greed, but also the true passion of love. Well, the film does not seem very serios, but gives you something to think about. Good movie, not strictly for kids.
