Animation isn't its strong suit, the visual looks pedestrian as though it's from last gen video games. 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. It's a dreary development with just about everything one would expect not to see again in fantasy genre. 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 dull journey and what few sparks it has, mainly from vista or music, can't save it from mediocrity. Dragon Nest animation resorts to utilizing mediocre antics from many other games or movies, then put it in one predictable story and weak animation. These games are known for social interaction or accessible gameplay, not strong narrative.

Also, it should be a good film to watch with young kids, just cover their eyes at the sex scenes - nah, just kidding.īuilding a movie from online multiplayer games is not easy. In truth, I had no idea what the movie was, I just liked the title, so not much in the way of expecting, but considering it is a Chinese animation film, it was actually quite good and I enjoyed it. I mean, if a little kid can do all that, what the hell was everybody else doing? Bottom line: I rate it as 'unexpectedly good'. Also the unfathomable 'level up' at the end, so Asian in nature, that made the entire story feel kind of stupid. There were some points that I didn't like, the reveal of the nature of the two brothers and the scheming dark elf that everybody seems to know who she is, but was never explained in the film. The animation was nice, the main character a bit annoying, but fun, the young romance thing interesting. In fact, the only thing that I think could bother people is that it is basically aimed at children and (very) young adults. I haven't played Dragon Nest - which BTW is a MMORPG - but I liked the characters and the lighthearted mood of the film. Young kid becomes great while tagging along a party of epic fighters sent to kill a dragon. OK, it wasn't the same thing, but the feel of it was the same.
