Product reviews...
This is a movie that on the cover looks good, but once on it ain't so good.
The good - The creature effects. All of the creatures were really well done, their movements were realistic enough for creatures that aren't real and they meld into the other imagery well, to be honest, the special effects are the ONLY good thing about this movie. The dragons are simply amazing, they're huge, really well done and they are freaky enough that you would never want to meet one of these dragons in real life.
Now, the bad things - Well, in short, the acting. Not a single one of the characters is even *close* to believable and there I had no desire to see any of the characters actually survive, the one I came closest to liking is about to be sent to a mental institution as no one believes that he saw a dragon. The entire story is full of plot holes from beginning to finish and this is probably one of the most cliched, in a really really bad way, movies that I have ever seen. The dialogue seems like it was cut and pasted from a dozen other movies.
The concept behind this was really good but fails miserably.
Random listing from 'Movies'...
Follow the lives of Viago (Taika Waititi), Deacon (Jonathan Brugh), and Vladislav (Jemaine Clement) - three flatmates who are just trying to get by and overcome life's obstacles - like being immortal vampires who must feast on human blood.
Hundreds of years old, the vampires are finding that beyond sunlight catastrophes, hitting the main artery, and not being able to get a sense of their wardrobe without a reflection - modern society has them struggling with the mundane like paying rent, keeping up with the chore wheel, trying to get into nightclubs, and overcoming flatmate conflicts.
