Dragon Storm (2004)

John Rhys Davies (The Lord Of The Rings Trilogy) stars in this mind-blowing adventure about a countryside under siege. When meteorites fall from the sky, they unleash fire-breathing dragons that threaton to destroy mankind.

In the wake of the destruction, six people become unlikely heroes in humanity's last stand against the terror.

dragons are cool, this movie is not

I watched this movie because it has Angel Boris in it, and I love Angel Boris. But let's face it, if Angel Boris is in a movie, that's a good sign that the movie is going to suck. Not because she is a bad actress, but she's an average actress who probably can't land the good roles. But she's hot, so who cares?

The only real reason to watch this movie is John Rhys Davies. He enjoys himself thoroughly playing a nasty, scheming bad guy, and gets most of the good lines in the film.

The dragons are done with much better CGI than I would have expected from a Sci-Fi Channel movie, but the film makers must have spent 90% of their budget on the dragons, because the rest of the film is almost comically under-produced. There's like 10 people in the village where the king lives. The lack of budget shows.

The acting? The plot? The dialogue? Well, let's say I've seen much, much worse. I still love Angel Boris though. October 14, 2007

BURNT OUT

This would be an exciting film for children. For adults: Cheesy script, poor acting and campy stuntwork/camerawork/special effects. January 14, 2007

Cheesy yet enjoyable...

I first saw this movie on the Sci-Fi Channel when they were showing 'marathon' of movies featuring dragons. The subject of review says it all 'Cheesy yet enjoyable'. There are parts that are unintentionally funny: Silas' groomed hair, Princess' attire (lingerie and black pants), Girl who yells "Fire!" when operating the catapult (even though she is the one pulling the device). The movie does has its own charm and it is enjoyable (if you can take it for what it's worth -- Sci-Fi Weekend Movie).

I liked the movie so much that I bought from Amazon. Recommended if you like these kind of movies. =) November 3, 2006

Ever seen a made at home movie? Nows your chance!

... Now how do you start a review of this kind of movie. Was it a movie? When all of a DOZEN towns people at the gate are waving farewell and sending the would be heros into battle against the (wonderfully computer rendered)dragons doesn't that just somehow seem sad. We six Heros will die so that the dragons won't eat the rest of you! Thats right all 11 of...oh Im sorry didn't see you there, ALL TWELVE of you. I especially like how in this town of twelve+heros there happens to be a traveling deadly martial arts guy, a beautiful girl with a huge crossbow on wheels,(talk about envy) and the robin hood guy, except he's actually from outside the town. So I'm going to stop now before I cry... Yes it was that bad. But as always watch it for the Heck of it and try not to be upset about time lost in a vigilant attempt to make sense out of the dragon storm movie thing..experience thing. March 30, 2006

Well-Done Fun!

This movie is just a bit of fun! The acting, directing and production values are very good. Maxwell Caulfield makes an excellent reluctant hero and John Rhys Davies injects humor into his villanous role. The medieval setting is more convincing and less glamorous than in many movies I've seen. The script is pretty good, as dragon eggs land like comets on the earth, but we aren't sure at first (and neither are the characters) what they are. Even though the movie is not a bloodfest, it is too scary for children. The dragons do kill people, there is a fair amount of suspense, and the dragons are frightening. January 17, 2006
