Dragon Quest: Your Story

I have not my self played Dragon Quest V, but as an avid gamer for over three decades, this movie still gave me a lot of good vibes and took me back to some old memories! The visuals are stunning and only based on that, I would recommend this! It does however fall short in some areas. It feels a little "forced" at times, and the potential is more than what the end product shows. All in all it was a pleasure to watch, and even though it is nothing revolutionary, it is a good-feel story with stunning graphics!

The ending destroys it. It was unnecessary.

Character building was nonexistent.

As someone who played Dragon Quest V, long ago the story beats and characters are there. After the fact, I really appreciated the efforts that provided the excitement and with the context of your story.

All the bits and pieces of what makes Dragon Quest is present, and if you have played the game I'm sure it'll recall the moments and emotion that'll yearn for the world you know and love. Which is the point.

This isn't going to change your experience with your adventure, only reignite it.

What a great homage that was. I remembered so many moments of playing the games while watching this movie. Such good times. I loved how they told this story making you feel a part of it. The movie looks stunning by the way, the visuals are so great!

It may not be for everyone, obviously directed to fans of the franchise but I hope some people will get to know this universe and even go after the games.

Found this on netflix after me and my kid (6) have been playing dragon quest builders 2 for a few weeks. It was cool to hear the same music and reactions in the movie as in the game. We both really enjoyed this movie. I thought the animation was really high quality even though some reviewers said it was bad. I'm not sure about the ending and the message it sends (same in the game) but it didn't stop us from wanting to watch it again!
