2.0 out of 5 stars
who honestly thought mixing 3d and 2d animation like this was a good idea?,
This review is from: Dragonlance: Dragons Of Autumn Twilight (2007) [Region 1][NTSC] [DVD] (DVD)
The 3d animation is poor and the 2d isn't great but would be acceptable without the 3d abominations. That aside, is it any good? well, sort of. as adaptations go the script is close to the books. Too close in some places and not close enough in others. The mystery of characters like Fizban is destroyed, I guess this was done to make sure the film stands alone.
The voice acting is varied, however casting keifer sutherland as Raistlin was genius. its a shame because watching this makes me sad for how good a dragonlance movie could be in the right hands.

What have you done???,
By Tim Bentley (UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Dragonlance: Dragons Of Autumn Twilight (2007) [Region 1][NTSC] [DVD] (DVD)
The Dragonlance novels are perhaps the best known series of books spawned by the Fantasy Role Playing Game Dungeons and Dragons. The extensive list of Dragonlance books starts (not chronologically) with the Dragons of Autumn Twilight, now made into an animated film reviewed here. I really enjoyed the books and waited with bated breath for the release of a film. Okay so it was animated and not live action (damn you Peter Jackson for setting my expectations so high! :-)) but the cover looked right and I recognised my favourites, Tanis, Tas, Caramon etc. Then I put the disc in my player....
First off, the DVD was region 1 and not region 2 as listed. Not an issue for me but those with region locked hardware won't have been able to 'enjoy' their purchase. Then there's the film itself - whatever were they thinking? The animation is so poor that the original D&D Cartoon series was better presented. One reviewer mentioned the 80s offering "He-man", if only they aspired to such high production values! The voice acting was lacklustre at best and the quality of the widescreen print was just desperate. Why mix flat animation with partial CGI? Why engage the likes of Keifer Sutherland to do the voice acting for Raistlin and then allow such a weak performance? Why do such a poor job that the story is now unlikely to be continued in film? All in all a dreadful effort and I suggest you don't bother with this film, especially if you're a fan of the Dragonlance books. I've given it two stars for the script which was faithful to the novel, otherwise I'd have been looking for a zero stars option.

Only for fans,

This review is from: Dragonlance: Dragons Of Autumn Twilight (2007) [Region 1][NTSC] [DVD] (DVD)
Ive seen this, its terrible. Unlike most adaption films, it is at least true to the books and the characters. The sub-standard animation and poor soundtrack, on the other hand, completely ruin it and constantly pull you out of the film. Its a mixture of low budget childrens cartoon with bad 3D draconians overlayed. Its almost a no-budget production. As much as I was excited about Dragonlance coming to the screen, this is for fans only. Im not sure who the producers were aiming at for their target, kids or adults.
