Starring Nicholas Galitzine as He-Man, Masters of the Universe is the story of a young man on Earth who discovers he’s the prince of an alien planet. His destiny now involves a magic sword and a return home to protect his kingdom.

Directed by Travis Knight, Masters of the Universe, an action/adventure/fantasy film, has Morena Baccarin, Idris Elba and Jared Leto as additional key cast.

I’d forgotten most of the details of He-Man’s story until reading the synopsis above. Curiosity is once again my main reason for wanting to see this, mostly curiosity about Galitzine’s performance, and partly because I wouldn’t mind a refresher on He-Man lore.

I’ll admit, I laughed when I heard the words ‘I have the power!‘ And both rightly and wrongly, seeing Galitzine in full He-Man attire immediately brought to mind Arnold Schwarzenegger as Conan the Barbarian (1982), and Dolph Lundgren in Masters of the Universe (1987).
