Dragon Age: Dawn of the Seeker

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 .

Being a big fan of the first game, Dragon Age: Origins, I was intrigued by the idea of a feature-length film set in the same universe. Unfortunately, this movie was closer in quality to Dragon Age 2. Which I suppose I should have expected, given that EA isn't separating themselves from Bioware any time soon.

But I digress. Dawn of the Seeker consists of some decent action scenes interspersed with mostly predictable plot twists and one-liners. The 3D cel-shaded animation style works at times, but at others can confuse what is happening on screen, or look somewhat shoddy. The characters' mouth movements don't quite match the dialog, but that's sure to be a product of the Japanese dubbing rather than the animation itself.

There were plenty of times while watching that I thought about just stopping the movie and leaving to do something else, but the story and setting transitioned just often enough to keep me going. Now that I've seen it once, however, I can say with confidence that I don't need to see it ever again. It was passable, but there are any number of better anime series/movies out there that you can turn to for better action scenes. Same goes for the story.

My recommendation for anyone who is a big fan of the Dragon Age universe, meaning both games, is to rent it. Certainly not worth a buy. For anyone else: skip it outright.

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.

This is just terrible. I like the genre and knew that this was going to be a video game movie, but even with low expectations I was still disappointed. The voice acting is uninspired, the animation like a bad video game cut scene and the plot is....pathetic. They must have spent all of 8 minutes writing this. This felt like a 8 year old wrote it. I know that people put effort into making this and I feel bad about criticizing someone else's work, but even given that, I still can't recommend you watch this movie. I can't recommend anyone watch this movie.

Don't waste your time.

Watch something else...anything else.

I will try to make a point here, I'm not an English speaker but i will do my best. As a big r.p.g. game fan, from Baldur's Gate till Dragon age Origins, I have to say that i didn't like this movie. I didn't expected much, the animation is OK, and the voices are somehow realistic. But the rest is a huge flaw, specially the characters and the story. Let me give you an example: Mages in this movie don't use magic to fight.... they fight hand to hand against knights!! Another example are the enemies, like the Ogres and Golems which are shown barely weak , slow(ogre) and fragile. I seriously doubt that the people involve in this movie knew the characters types and the context.
