Because they make the improbable seem real, fantasy movies have a special power to enthral viewers. Despite being frequently associated with medieval mythology, as seen by well-known shows like ‘House of the Dragon’ and ‘The Witcher’, fantasy is a very flexible genre that easily combines comedy, drama, adventure, and even music.
The film business has had a difficult five years due to the COVID-19 pandemic-related closures of theatres, the SAG-AFTRA strike, and the emergence of streaming services. Notwithstanding these obstacles, fantasy movies have been crucial in reigniting interest on the big screen. The genre’s ongoing appeal is demonstrated by its continued success, which includes both exceptional masterpieces and hidden gems.
