Dragon Age: Redemption

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.

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.

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..

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.
