Paul Magne Haakonsen The storyline in "Dragon Nest: Warriors' Dawn" was actually surprisingly good and entertaining, especially for one whom has been playing Dungeons & Dragons for over 30 years.The characters were well-rounded and nicely fleshed out, although not everyone obviously had an equally big part in the storyline, or equally much on-screen time. The animated movie had lots of likeable characters that you instantly take a liking to.The CGI was good for most parts, though sometimes it felt like it lacked some natural blending as the characters popped out like a sore thumb in contrast to the background.It had a nicely paced storyline with a good combination of action and character development.Unfortunately, I watched it with an English dubbing which actually was quite alright. And that was a surprise for me, as English dubs usually tend to kill the atmosphere for an Asian produced animation.

quincytheodore Building a movie from online multiplayer games is not easy. These games are known for social interaction or accessible gameplay, not strong narrative. Dragon Nest animation resorts to utilizing mediocre antics from many other games or movies, then put it in one predictable story and weak animation. It's a dull journey and what few sparks it has, mainly from vista or music, can't save it from mediocrity.Story is very basic, cue in your typical hero-in-training, alliance with other race, some comedy reliefs and potential romantic angle, then you'll have the 101 good versus evil plot. It's a dreary development with just about everything one would expect not to see again in fantasy genre. Granted, this sort of plot has been used many times and it can be to great effect, but Dragon Nest merely stacks them without novelty and hope for the best.Animation isn't its strong suit, the visual looks pedestrian as though it's from last gen video games. Sometimes the audio sounds out of place as the mixing stutters on some parts, dubbing is the usual sloppy mess, especially for supporting chars. There's a bit inconsistency with details as well, shadows or texture don't sync well into the scenes. Frankly, these kinds of problems shouldn't happen on feature length animation of today's technology.If there are some redeeming parts, they are the decent soundtracks and design for the world. They manages to draw that fresh fantasy vibe, although much too briefly before the average animation kicks in again. Watching Dragon Nest offers the same level of excitement as grinding in online game, low at best.

singhamn What I love about this movie is that it is not the story about a chosen one. Now a days, all movies, books and so on are about this one person who has the special power within him to change everything. However, this is not the kid. The main protagonist, Lambert, is just a simple teenager who happen to get into a quest. He does not hold special powers, he is not necessarily strong, he is just a normal kid with attitude. As the movie goes on he becomes stronger, but yet there is no mentioning of him being special, just a kid with a big heart. The animation in this movie was amazing. I was impressed from start to finish and the detailing of even the smallest aspect of the scene was well thought out. Also, so was the story line. The story line kept me guessing. It was not like most movies where you already know everything that is going to happen, it kept me guessing. When I started watching this movie my first thought were "Oh, he's the chosen one" or "Oh, this will totally happen next" But it didn't for most of the time. Which is pretty rare now a days if you ask me. All the characters are well thought out and original and have a personality which I would love to get to know a backstory to. The characters had however the natural traits of for example a mage, a warrior and so forth, however as I mentioned the personalities were really interesting. Furthermore, the fight scenes were amazing. The precision of every blow and every strike was fantastic and I am so glad that I chose to watch this movie tonight. I definitely will recommend all my friends who love this type of genre to see this movie. Why I gave it 10/10? Because it kept me guessing, it kept me wanting more, I was sitting on the end of my seat and when I saw it was only 10 minutes left I got so frustrated because I wanted to see more. Which I hopefully if they do a second one. Once again, a great movie.

Stephen KP Byrne I loved this movie from start to finish, the ending I won't reveal but I will say it reminded me of those tingly World of Warcraft trailers I would love so much as a young adult. This movie is like a mixture of all the stuff I loved growing up with as a kid, a teenager & young adult into one immensely epic film. It has an amazing story line, fantastic characters especially Liya and actually had me sitting there saying out loud during the film, "I love this movie" Thank you to anyone involved in making this movie. I thank you from the bottom of my heart. Final Fantasy styled animation with Lord of the Rings size battles. In my opinion it's like epic Gaming, Animation and a movie all got rolled into one epic ride !! I love this movie so much, thank you again.
