This movie is actually one of the best movies i have seen this year. Action is indeed the strong point of the film as is Cassandra in her role as a strong female lead. While the story itself is easy to figure out yet there are deeper meanings to many of the scenes and a few twists that will make you think twice. Many of the reviewers seem to overlook these seeing the film as simple good verses evil completely disregarding the fact that the actions of the few affect many. The character show more growth than those seen in most big budget Hollywood films. It also follows most Dragon Age Lore and at points even adds onto in some points. The style of the animation is actually very well done with a traditional Japanese anime vibe combine with a more western character design. Watching this movie with a moderate knowledge of Dragon Age Lore is advised but not necessary. Overall do not watch it with preconceptions of what it should have been just enjoy what they have done.
