Dragon Age: Redemption

I was just wondering what Felicia Day was up to, so I looked her up and found this film. Also starring Doug Jones as the tall prosthetically covered villain. And since I enjoyed the Dragon Age games, I said I would watch it.

It is more of a Dungeons and Dragons kind of story, but set into the DA universe. You have the Qunari elf assassin, the valiant Chantry knight, a pubescent Dalish mage and even a Reaver, trying to stop a rogue mage from opening The Veil!

Any of the DA games have a better story than this film and even action, if I may say so, but the banter between characters is fun and the film is very short. And you will say "but wait, isn't this a series?". No, I've seen it as a standalone 50 minutes long (or short) movie.

Bottom line: just scratches that indie fantasy D&D web series itch a little bit. It's really low budget and has little to recommend it. But it wasn't bad.

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.

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..

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.

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.
