About This DVD
Stunning computer-generated special effects are the main selling point of Dragon
Wars: D-War, a Korean-made fantasy about ancient monsters wreaking havoc in
modern Los Angeles. The complex plot, based on legend, pits an evil serpent and
its demonic army against a young woman (Amanda Brooks) who is the reincarnation
of a young woman imbued with the heaven-sent power to transform the creature
into an all-powerful dragon. Jason Behr (The Grudge) is the reporter who
discovers that he too is a reincarnated warrior bound to prevent Brooks and her
power from falling into the wrong hands. The elaborate premise isn't helped by
the script, which delivers absurd dialogue and situations with child-like
naivete; thankfully, the presence of Robert Forster (as another reincarnated
hero) and solid actors like Elizabeth Pena, The Office's Craig Robinson, and
Chris Mulkey, help smooth over the frequent moments of unintentional humor. But
this won't matter much to fantasy fans and (especially) younger viewers, who
will tune in for the film's riot of special effects; director Shim Hyung-rae and
his talented team offer scene after scene of exceptional CGI creations, most
notably a aerial dogfight between helicopters and winged lizards in the skies
above downtown L.A., and a climactic battle which makes good on the title's
promise. The DVD includes a making-of featurette which outlines Shim's four-year
struggle to complete the project, as well as storyboard galleries and an
animatics display. -- Paul Gaita (Amazon.com)
Meet Buraki, the vicious, 200-meter long Imoogi serpent from ancient Korea. His
army includes giant lizards with missile launchers, flying dragons, soldiers
bred for evil and mega-intelligent dinosaurs. Together, they will destroy Los
Angeles and possibly the world unless reincarnated warriors Ethan and Sarah can
outrun them and resurrect the Good Imoogi, Buraki's ancient nemesis. Dragon Wars
reveals every last detail of Earth's greatest battle, a war you'll only believe
when you see it for yourself.
