Le Guin's multiple award-winning classic tale comes this richly imagined epic mini-series. In the magical world of EarthSea, the Amulet of Peace has ensured harmony between humans and dragons for centuries. But when the Amulet is broken and a piece of it disappears, it's up to a neophyte wizard to restore balance and stop a nefarious king from conquering EarthSea's islands. .com Originally broadcast as Legend of Earthsea in December 2004, the Sci-Fi Channel's four-hour miniseries of Earthsea rides the coattails of the Lord of the Rings trilogy with its quest-driven story of humble blacksmith Ged (Shawn Ashmore), a wizard-to-be who is mentored by the magical Ogion (Danny Glover) as he seeks to preserve the realm of Earthsea from the evil King Tygath (Sebastian Roché). Ged's adventures lead him to the priestess Tenar (Kristen Kreuk, from Smallville) and with secrets shared by High Priestess Thar (Isabella Rossellini), they gain the power to prevail over Tygath. As presented by Robert Halmi Sr. (producer of Merlin, Gulliver's Travels and several other fantasy miniseries), this skeletal rendering of Earthsea boasts a wealth of digital effects and semi-lavish set design, but Ashmore's lack of charisma hampers a production already fraught with problems. It provoked the wrath of fantasy fans and a firm rejection by author Ursula K. Le Guin, who had watched helplessly (she wasn't involved or consulted) as her classic novels A Wizard of Earthsea and The Tombs of Atuan were racially "whitewashed" (in Le Guin's words) nearly beyond recognition. As TV fantasy goes, Earthsea is admirably ambitious, but best enjoyed by those with no awareness of the classic books it is very loosely based on. --Jeff Shannon ## Images ![Earthsea - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91P89VKZ-XL.jpg) ![Earthsea - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91CDCFtQc+L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Great Fantasy Adventure *by R***R on Reviewed in the United States on June 12, 2005* Initially I was put off by all the bad reviews, but I love Sci-Fi & Fantasy so I took a chance and bought the DVD. I loved it. It engaged me and I couldn't put it down. Well done to all who were involved in make this fantastic film.I have to say that I have never read the book so the changes made to the story line didn't worry me. I listened to the audio tape today and there were many changes. Sounds like if you are very familiar with the book then you may be disappointed. But for me I had no hestitation in giving it 5 stars. Very glad to have it in my SciFi and Fantasy collection. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars Earthsea *by D***H on Reviewed in the United States on March 12, 2005* Earthsea or $15 million doesn't go that far anymore. I really liked this movie. However, having said that I also believe that any problems which the movie had, resulted from the director's fundamental misunderstanding of the material which he had to work with.He did tone down the sex scenes, which the sci-fi channel wanted in order to make this appeal to an adult audience (18-35 age group.) Director Robert Lieberman wanted a show that he could feel comfortable about his kids watching. That's a good thing.Regarding the fact that Ms. Leguin wasn't consulted as some of the other reviews have stated. She was in fact consulted at Mr. Lieberman, but not the sci-fi channel, and the people that brought the rights to the Earthsea books. I formed these impressions by watching the DVD commentary.The only objections which the director says he was made aware of were: the author thought that there should be more ethnicity in earthsea. Secondly she objected to whole passages of dialogue being redacted. These are objections that any author who cared about her work would have.The director explained on the commentary that he had to work within the time, and budget constraints of the sci-fi network who had input every step of the way. They even objected to uniforms the students wore on the island of Roke. "They thought that it looked too much like Harry Potter." At the school the director kept saying that he did not mages in pointy hats. This was I believe his first fundamental misunderstanding of the material. Who ever said that mages have to wear pointy hats. This was my first hint that he had no clue about the genre he was working in.Next the director objected to talking dragons, "he thought they were cartoon like," and wanted to put the dragons dialogue in subtitles. Again I believe that this is a fundamental misunderstanding of the material, and the genre. To me earthsea was all about Ged and the dragons. Which is why I am amazed that the movie is so good, because it came from someone who didn't understand the material he was given but gave us his perception of earthsea. However, it's definitely not the author's. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Far Better Than Harry Potter *by J***T on Reviewed in the United States on May 5, 2013* This Mini-Series is kind of like a mature Harry Potter movie. I don't really like Harry Potter movies because they just seem too childish and silly for me, but I love EarthSea which is probably one of my top 5 all-time favorite films.This DVD got a lot of undeserved low ratings just because it doesn't match the book exactly. But if you've never read the books or don't mind the film being different then you'll love this DVD. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.in/products/4416234-earthsea](https://www.desertcart.in/products/4416234-earthsea) --- *Product available on Desertcart India* *Store origin: IN* *Last updated: 2026-04-25*
