Dragon Age: Redemption

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.

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.

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..

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.

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.
