Dragon Age- redemption
.acting is quite good for a low budget venture, let’s say good enough for some hollywood movies . Main lady is quite good
.metal armor looks wrong . Nonmetal armor looks very good .
.story is pretty much fine
.I dig the gray mage guy
.magic effects are passable
.mages are strangely healers (part of their lore)
.All the characters are very likeable which makes for a good watch.
Immersiveness, details -
.. Hollywood girl power is out of control. Women way more powerful than guys, so come prepared.
..racial and cultural mix is super high and not very immersive at all. Other than maybe the gray demon looking dudes.
..fight choreography fairly weak.
All in all, I enjoyed it.
Curse of the Dragon Slayer - AKA, SAGA:Curse of the Shadow aka other stuff.
.surprisingly good fight choreography. The main elf lady is damn good, by the way... moves well, has heft to her sword attacks and kicks, flexible back... has to be a real life athlete of some kind.
..acting is quite solid. I like the Irish lead guy and the niceish orc, especially... they are charismatic.
..I like the main guy’s remote speaking to his lady boss… fittingly magical, eerie vibe, and adds to some plot elements.
Immersiveness
.hollywood girl power meter is at pre-Xena levels. Aka low, meaning men are stronger than women.
.racial appearance vs. cultural believability meter… fairly high marks here. As in, it feels like LOTR movie levels..Except there is a semigood orc .
.costumes are really good. Metal Armor seems functional and realistic. Makeup for orcs is outstanding… literally as good as LOTR movies. The elf eye contacts need more detail, they look wrong. The main orc’s eye contacts are OK but slightly too big or something.. his face was designed to be more sympathetic so it seems it was a choice.
..settings look good. I especially love the crazy sky colors and the watery areas.
.callbacks to the 1980s… yes, the wristgrab handshake, nice. Very tame, not rated R.
All in all enjoying this one too Solid ending boss and eell ending, too. Character arcs, etc. Surprised how much I enjoyed it actually.
