#DRAGON QUEST YOUR STORY MOVIE#
Let’s face it, the primary reason any of us are watching this movie is not to revolutionize our sensibilities to animation or to challenge our fundamental beliefs, we’re just tuning in for the entertainment of seeing a world we’ve loved turned into a film, or maybe just to dip our toes into the Dragon Quest water. I believe, now, that the way this film is animated is a compromise, a theme which is present throughout the entire film’s production. However, during the course of the film I came to terms with it. Many took issue with the westernized animation style, myself included. I’ll only go over the visuals and stories, and because it’s such a short experience I’ll refrain from any spoilers. Especially because, as I’ve said elsewhere, I believe the honest work of a critic is to relate to someone whether or not they should experience something for themselves.
Because of this I don’t want to do too much of a breakdown. This isn’t really an experience you have to spend money on, or one which takes very long (just the length of the movie) or more effort than pressing the play button. I will say that if you’re not a fan of the series, or of JRPGs as a genre, the film may not be as appealing of an experience, but I think it still has a lot to offer in the realm of entertainment.Ĭompared to other reviews, I’ll try to keep it focused. To see the world of Dragon Quest brought into this world of animation was certainly a treat. I’m someone who believes Dragon Quest V is one of the best stories ever written in games. Of all of the entries I’ve played, if I were only to count V, VIII, and XI, I have spent well over 200 hours in these stories. I sat down yesterday to watch the film (in the original Japanese with English subtitles) and gave myself 24 hours to collect my thoughts and put them to words.Īllow me to preface that I’m writing this article as a huge fan of the Dragon Quest series. On February 13th Netflix released Dragon Quest: Your Story, a film adaptation of Dragon Quest V.
