MASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE

I grew up watching Masters of the Universe, both the Saturday morning cartoon and the 1987 live action film with Dolph Lundgren and Courteney Cox. It was a treat covering the premiere and press junket early this year. I was sure that audiences were going to love it, and it would be a box office hit. Well, it didn’t do well in theaters, but it has since found a passionate fan base once it hit streaming on Prime Video. If you don’t have Prime Video, now is the perfect time to pick up the new 4K release from Amazon Prime/MGM and Alliance Home Entertainment.

Kids of the ‘80s grew up with the He-Man and the Masters of the Universe action figures. Along with an animated series, they became a huge hit for Mattel. He-Man is back for a new live action adventure in Masters of the Universe. As a young boy, Adam grew up in the fantasy land of Eternia. He was a young, scrappy kid who trained to be a warrior. That all changed when Eternia was attacked by Skeletor (Jared Leto) who was coveting the almighty Sword of Power that’s housed in Castle Grayskull. The Sorceress (Monica Baccarin) saves Adam and transports him and the sword to planet Earth. In present day Oklahoma City, Nicholas Galitzine plays Adam who is now grown-up working in HR and longing for his friends and family back in Eternia. He believes he’s found the Sword of Power but accidentally summons Skeletor and his minions all over again. He’s saved by his friend, Teela (Camila Mendes), and is transported back to Eternia to find it in ruins, taken over by Skeletor. Adam transforms into He-Man, and with the help of Teela and Man-At-Arms (Idris Elba), they try to save Eternia before it’s too late.
