Okay is this a grand epic? No..

But is it fun to watch ? Yes.

Almost zero real production value and effects.. story is derivided dialog is stiff..

But you know somehow you can over look that because you understand what you are watching..

Yes it is fun.. and really everyone done the best with what they had..

I saw this as someone who loves Dragon Age, but I was also dubious. Seeing it finally, I thought it wasn't terrible, but it wasn't very good either. I did like the music, which had a sense of adventure, the costume and set design while not amazing did look decent, likewise with the photography, Nyree was an interesting and fun character and Marcia Battise gives a lot of enthusiasm here. However, the story didn't always engage me. The idea was great, but the basic structure seemed thin and sometimes even padded out, then there are parts felt rushed and underdeveloped in an effort to introduce many characters. The special effects are rather tacky, granted I have seen much worse, but the blood especially looks very artificial. The dialogue is corny and stilted, and apart from Nyree the characters either got on my nerves(Tallis) or took far too long to introduce. The acting is nothing great either, Adam Rayner is wooden and while Felicia Day is good in The Guild she seems rather detached here. All in all, interesting and not awful, but fell short in terms of writing and story. 5/10 Bethany Cox

This show is interesting for fans of the Dragon Age video games. Felicia Day's character Fallis is even featured in Downloadable Content of Dragon Age II: Mark of the Assassin. Her character is also a major problem in this show.

Sure, the show (and Felicia's cleavage) look pretty good, given the budget they worked with. Most of the actors are likable and better than expected. But the Tallis character does not work at all. She is supposed to be bad ass, but she's nothing but annoying. Partially a Mary Sue, a too good to be true character that outwits and overpowers her foes a tad too easily too many times, she also is selfish, arrogant and heartless. That is a real bitch of a main character to relate to.

The writing seems OK, but the point where I stopped watching was when she just throws a dagger into an innocent boy, just to let him prove his healing ability. What if he had bluffed a bit and had not been proficient and just wanted to help out? He'd be dead, thank you Tallis.

I appreciate what was attempted here, but it would have been good to let one of Bioware's people write the script. They let Felicia ruin this potential by allowing her to turn it into a Mary Sue, i.e. your typical average fan fiction. Not too dreadful, but too flawed to bear watching it all the way through.

Like a pilot for a series. Oh, it is? Then, I'd like to see the rest of the series. The redhead is beautiful and fun. I wish she did better stunt work. Maybe they didn't pay her enough, for her to want to train for those fight scenes. Oh well. Still, fun to watch.

Felicia Day playing Felicia Day again to a backdrop that she never deserved to go near. Honestly why is this abomination even on IMDB? I know they inserted her character into a DLC for DA:2 but she was having a moment at the time for some reason and EA do like to cash in, we all know that. This though? It should be disavowed as official media, it's a bad fanfic by a prototype egirl and nothing more.

Hollywood you are officially on notice. If they can do this with almost no money your 100's of millions is pathetic, wasted and you should be ashamed. This is a group of people, or at least one person, Kathryn Felicia Day, that are not going to submit to the Hollywood machine. Dragon Age attempts to tell the story that would require many novels to communicate. This is the pit fall of almost all Fantasy/Adventure story lines that are conveyed to TV or movies is they are trying to communicate an entire world in a relatively short movie. Dragon Age is actually very successful in translating several novels on story into a very short amount of film.

This is... How can I describe it? Embarrassing. It has one of the slimmest plots for a movie / TV short series, some of the worst fanfic acting, and definitely the worst 'high school' special effects I have ever seen.

This is, as usual of Felicia Day's home grown affairs, a love letter to Felicia Day. Take the entire project out of her hands, and give her a bit part, and she'll be fine. However, let Felicia run things, and it'll look like a couple of kids shooting a movie on a weekend, where she can do anything (except act, stunts, fight scenes and write), and everyone else comes in second best.

There are positives, the costume designs and makeup were quite good. Ah, well, yes. That's it. Everything else is just amateur hour.

I know it's old, but I stumbled across this on Tubi TV, and wanted something to watch. I sacrificed my time, so you don't have too. It's crap, don't watch it.

EPIC truly defines this amazing series, it has a great cast of characters, awesome story line and some pretty kick butt stunts and effects.

Overall I give the series a 10 out of 10 for all of the above and much more. It truly does Dragon Age justice as it has lots of blood and a great storyline

The Costumes, sets, and locations help pull of the web series as they are all amazing and well made. The Cast is really talented and it helps believing the series and adds more dynamics to their characters.

Dragon Age: Redemption is definitely a show worth watching as it is EPIC

The entire movie comes across like Felicia Day and her friends play acting a LARP very loosely based on Dragon Age written by someone who read a game synopsis but never played. Unwatchable.

This was originally mini web episodes, like Felicia's Day famous work, The Guild. The beginning of every episode features a wall of exposition about the Dragon Age game and it's background, with a barely readable grunge font to fit its so-wannabe-edgy-it's-cringe setting. Everyone is a slave, and outlaw, and the best at what they do, but enchained to society, and all the names are either clumsily made up or stolen from mythology. When we are done with reading this episode's exposition, we return to the episode itself, where we have the characters reciting more exposition to each other. They try to get around that by having Felicia Day's character say, "I know that," as if this major violation of the "show don't tell writing" advice can be forgiven. Then something might happen for 60 seconds, with video game logic (we'll shoot colored light at someone and they lose the next 5 turns). And then the next episode starts abruptly with another crazy text crawl. On the plus side, it assembles a party much like a Dungeon and Dragons group would do, and they bicker just about as much. It kind of feels like something you could see happening in a roleplaying game night. As far as fantasy goes, it's plot and effects are just as fine as Hawk the Slayer or Deathstalker (which are not great either) but nothing like The Princess Bride or Dragonslayer.

A fantasy based on the video game, Dragon Age, or should I say loosely so. It is full of cliches and the acting is marginal even at its best. The script is so so and dialogue comes off as feeling forced. Action sequences are lacking in action.

The elven ears look like cheap plastic and the weapons look like over sized foam LARP weapons. The storyline is ok, but itis fairly generic.

The beginning sequences appeared to be CGI, and was the best part of the movie and seemed more realistic than any of the live action parts.

It is passable as watchable, barely so.. I certainly have watched worse.

Cliché after cliché, this is a bad way to spend 48 minutes. Maybe if I were a gamer and knew the storyline of the video game, I might have gotten more out of this. It seems to me, though, that any project of this type (including movies based on comic books and graphic novels) must be able to stand on its own and not be dependent on a small demographic for its success.

This was so bad, it hurt. Written by and starring Felicia "I act with my eyes" Day, this makes Roger Corman look like Kubrick.

Really, the only cliché this was missing was the villain yelling "YOU MADE ME" at the heroes. It was, at least, implied with his "How could I not? It was almost involuntary."
