On - drakon

On Drakon is actually quite good. The whole mythology was well crafted and nicely presented. The settings and costumes helped a lot with it, as they looked original and not cheap. The CGI were decent and did not ruin it too. As for the story, was pretty nice, predictable, but had the fairy tale feeling to it throughout it. The performances were good too.

This was a perfect romantic feel-good movie. The camera work was beautiful. The special effects were wonderful; the fantastical interacted with the real seamlessly. The plot was great, I loved the transition from folk tale to 'reality.' I especially liked the development of the two main characters, Mira most of all. Her initial introduction had me thinking she was going to be a brat through-out and I was pleasantly surprised.

Beautiful in every way. The leads were charming and the love story did not feel forced. A perfect take on Beauty and the Beast and dragons are way cooler.

I was randomly sifting through films on Amazon Prime and came across this title. Thought I'd give it a whirl and was so pleased I did! I knew it had me hooked when I stopped fast forwarding (it's only a ten second jump) very early in the film. There is something about the scenery and 'feel' of the island that made it almost mystical. They haven't overdone the CGI; the dragon is realistic and beautiful. The acting is superb and the music lovely. The song Mira sings towards the end is magical and beautifully conveys the deep longing in her heart. If you like dragons, fantasy, and romance, this is a must.

This was a stunning movie. It felt like a fairy tale from old Russia told through beautiful imagery and storytelling. As a non Russian speaker - the visuals and acting were only enhanced by the Russian language that sounded almost poetic and added to the romantic feel of the movie.

The cinematography was lovely and fit perfectly with with the story and the Russian actors were perfect for their roles. Their facial expressions truly brought the story to life.

It is nice to see Russia can make such movies and Hollywood could learn a thing or two from them !
