davidcshannon I wasn't aware that this movie existed until I had already played through Dragon Age: Inquisition multiple times. I have also played through each of Dragon Age: Origins and Dragon Age II multiple times, enjoying all three thoroughly.I can tell from reading the other reviews that even the other DA fans watched this without the lore from Inquisition, which is understandable as this came out beforehand. Cassandra is a major character in Inquisition, and some of the other reviewers objections are explained in that game.I thoroughly enjoyed this movie, despite some minor issues.There were a few small errors in lore, mostly in the introductory speech. These weren't all that important and didn't really bother me, except for the inclusion of a specific enemy type that other reviewers have already pointed out.Cassandra's abilities are exaggerated to the point of being a superheroine, but this is an anime of a video game, so I don't really see that as a problem. In any case, Cassandra is one of the greatest warriors in the Dragon Age universe, so her exploits are not completely out of the question.Overall, the action and the story are compelling and well paced. The animation was a bit jarring at first, but I quickly got used to it and thought that the fight scenes were exceptionally well done. The final climax is pretty epic, and the resolution leads nicely into the events of Inquisition.If you're a fan of the Dragon Age series, and Cassandra in particular, then do yourself a favor and watch this without getting caught up on one or two minor errors. If you know nothing about Dragon Age, but like a good action movie with a righteous heroine, then I imagine you'd enjoy it as well.

dragonsblade8 This movie is actually one of the best movies i have seen this year. Action is indeed the strong point of the film as is Cassandra in her role as a strong female lead. While the story itself is easy to figure out yet there are deeper meanings to many of the scenes and a few twists that will make you think twice. Many of the reviewers seem to overlook these seeing the film as simple good verses evil completely disregarding the fact that the actions of the few affect many. The character show more growth than those seen in most big budget Hollywood films. It also follows most Dragon Age Lore and at points even adds onto in some points. The style of the animation is actually very well done with a traditional Japanese anime vibe combine with a more western character design. Watching this movie with a moderate knowledge of Dragon Age Lore is advised but not necessary. Overall do not watch it with preconceptions of what it should have been just enjoy what they have done.

Lake Srid So first I'd like to start with saying that I've not played the games and I will not compare the movie to them. The movie wasn't bad but it wasn't really that good either.Graphicaly it was done very well .The animations were top notch and even though they might seem strange in the beginning (atleast the faces) you very soon fall in love with the style. the atmosphere was amazing as well but ... that's just about it. Those were the good sides of the movie. Now for the bad part. The story was nothing special in fact it was very generic and clichéd and unoriginal. The voice acting wasn't that bad , the dialogs were pretty simple and there weren't really any lines to remember from the movie.There were a lot of goofs such as different placing of the characters and different lenght of the surrounding objects or distances. As a conclusion , the movie wasn't that bad but it was also not a great movie that would be remembered very long or even at all. It's interesting to see the animation style but the rest is nothing special.Kind of disappointing actually because of the cliché plot .

kchan252000 Awesome action choreographed for an anime as it's not trying too hard and doesn't have too much unnecessary dialog and cheesiness (like the wind in the background) during fights. The characters have subtle facial expressions that correlate with the scenes. The character design and costume were badass. The movie also correlates with the game franchise and gave more depth the the whole Dragon Age world. The accent and voice acting however could improve as it doesn't seem very french to me and seem somewhat half hearted. Also the plot could be better and could have had more twists because the story is very linear and has no surprises but I know this is limited by what Bio Ware dictates. lastly the movie tried to instill a little bit of romance between the main characters but it didn't have depth and it felt like it was tossed in at the last minute. Over all, the movie was a good sub-story for the dragon age franchise. I would watch it again and recommend to DA fans. I hope there could be another sequel.
