A Dragon Age Fan’s Review–The Curious Case of Dragon Age: Dawn of the Seeker
When I first saw Dragon Age: Dawn of the Seeker in 2014, I didnât have many positive things to say about it. I thought it was silly and riddled with cheesy tropes (and I have to admit, the animation is an acquired taste but is definitely leagues above other 3d anime styles like the one used in RWBY). However, re-watching it three years after my initial reaction, my perception of it has changed for the better, and I find the movie that once annoyed me is now an absolute delight to watch.Cassandraâs dialogue in the game Dragon Age: Inquisition regarding the attack on the Grand Cathedral changed everything for me. Her version of events was down-to-earth. She explained what had happened without embellishment, stripping away the high-drama of the movie. This could be chalked up to humility, I guess, but then thereâs that line she says: âThe tale gets bigger each time itâs told. I barely recognize myself within it nowâ. That was it! The pieces fell into place. It wasnât modesty, it was the truth, and the events shown in Dawn of the Seeker were the fiction: a fantastic dramatization based on real events, much like Varricâs narration in DA2.Realizing that the entirety of DA 2, from its narrative framing to its 3-act structure, is built around the premise that Varric isnât really telling you the whole truth was hugely liberating for me. The meat of the game is a fictionalization of in-world events, told by a well known pulp-novelist, who is trying to cover his friendâs tracks. If DA 2 could be a âdramatizationâ, why couldnât Dawn of the Seeker?The movie, therefore, isnât literally what happened in-universe, but the story that has been told so many times that Cassandra doesnât recognize herself in the retelling. The movie becomes a piece of metafiction, as tropey and dramatic as one of Varricâs own books. And I would argue that the team at BioWare should lean into this interpretation, allowing the movie to draw attention to itâs own fictitiousness and become an animated in-world codex with an unreliable narrator; a novel you could find tucked away in a used bookstore in Val Royeaux, rather than the honest, 100% literal truth.For those who already like Dawn of the Seeker, this probably wont change anything for you, but for those Dragon Age fans who found Dawn of the Seeker difficult to take seriously, I hope I have provided an alternate way of looking at it that might revitalize (or possibly even redeem?) the movie for you.

Wow, great film for a game/movie!
First off, I have no idea what people are expecting when they say the animation was bad. Did you see the dragons and the demon? This particular animation style is usually pretty minimal, although if you’ve seen TO you’d see when it can become truly amazing! I don’t know what others were watching this on, but I watched the Blu-ray on a 1080p 120hz Plasma TV and honestly the animation was colorful and impressive! The only downside of the animation were the numerous scenes in the dark wooded areas in the first half of the movie.As far as the voice acting goes, could it have been better? Sure, I’d agree on that. Was it horrible? Hardly. I really like her character and would actually be interested in seeing her as a character in DA3. Not just a plot device like she was in DA2.And then there’s the tie-in. It was nice to learn where in the timeline this fit in to the games. I won’t go into detail about the games. I will just say I enjoyed both of them, even with the clear mistakes made in DA2. I agree, if you haven’t played the games you will have little understanding about the movie’s context, but who cares? The movie was made to tie-in to the games.I would highly recommend this to anyone that actually enjoyed the games. As a DA fan and a huge Anime fan, this was great for me. I would like to mention that I had no expectations when I saw this movie and still enjoyed it.

Flashy as hell
I’ve never been 100% happy with how bioware handles their decision. But from everything that I have seen on this movie, I can say that it’s nice change of pace from what the Dragon Age is used to. Not to mention the box looks incredible.Just so people know. I have seen the Japanese version of the film. And I liked it.The animation, other than some blotchy frames is a solid piece. Not to the level of the Animatrix, but certainly leagues beyond the Dante’s inferno anime, and on par with some of the best of Halo Legends. The cel-shaded water color anime presentation is neat east meets west style, although the backgrounds certainly go for realism. The story it’s self is a little rushed, and it feels like it’s only purpose is to build up for the climax. The film doesn’t spare any expense on the fight, which are filled with tons of crazy choreography and blood. Lot’s of blood. It get’s a bit silly about how much blood there is. The story, not wanting to give anything seems to be a sort of deeper take on the world Dragon Age which makes references that were vague in the games and makes them bigger instead of giving an introduction into the world like other animated films based on games have done.

Quality is a little dated, but you’d expect it from how old it is. However, I loved it! I could easily watch it again.A must watch for fans of the Dragon Age IP.

Esta es la única pelÃcula de Dragon Age hecha en animación y cuenta la historia de Cassandra, un personaje que aparece en Dragon Age 2 y Dragon Age: Inquisition. La historia me ha parecido muy interesante y divertida, asà que es un “must have” para todo fan acérrimo a la saga.

I have watched this movie upon playing Dragon Age Series of games. Nicely done in animated form as well the story is well written. If you are a fan of the games, this is a must watch movie as it delves into one of the iconic character’s background and what makes her the way she is.

La pelÃcula nos sitúa después de los acontecimientos de Dragon Age 2, expandiendo el universo mostrada en este y a la vez sirve como antecedente al actual juego, la pelÃcula no busca inventar el hilo negro en la historia de dragon age y tampoco presenta un gran cambio en cuanto a animaciones 3D sin embargo es una pelÃcula que incluye muchos detalles de la saga, que si eres amante del juego sin duda alguna te encantará. Vale la pena darle una oportunidad, el único inconveniente es que no contiene subtitulos en español.

Come da titolo, prodotto consigliato solo a chi vuole completare la sua conoscenza del mondo di Dragon Age. Il film in sé non è niente di memorabile (anzi tutt’altro), però rivela dettagli di alcuni personaggi chiave della serie videoludica utili a capire meglio i loro bakground.
