Dragon Wars is an epic action-adventure movie released in 2007 directed and written by Shim Hyung-rae. The movie stars Jason Behr, Amanda Brooks, and Robert Forster in the lead roles. It is a South Korean film made partially in English, and it is known as D-War internationally. The film received mixed reviews from critics but was a box office success in South Korea.

The movie opens with a voiceover explaining that dragons had once roamed the earth, and humans fought them using special weapons. after they went extinct, the weapons were scattered worldwide. In modern-day Los Angeles, Ethan Kendrick (played by Jason Behr) is a journalist covering a massive construction project. He meets an old lady named Jack (played by Robert Forster), who tells him that he is the reincarnation of a Korean prince and that he alone can save humanity from an ancient evil force.

Ethan meets the beautiful Sarah (played by Amanda Brooks), who also has strange dreams about this similar mission. The two set out on a quest to find the reincarnated princess Narin (played by Jang Ji-yeong), who is the key to stopping the villainous serpent- like creatures known as Buraki that have returned to earth to destroy humans and find Narin’s heart.

The movie is full of intense action-packed scenes that keep you at the edge of your seat. One of the most impressive scenes happens halfway through the movie. A giant serpent destroys a bridge, driving people and cars into the water below, and Buraki's army destroys Los Angeles, crashing buildings and killing all who stand in its way. The special effects in this film are extraordinary, and they are a highlight of the movie.

The story itself is inspired by Korean mythology, which might make it tricky to understand. Still, Dragon Wars does a good job of explaining everything the audience needs to know without being too heavy-handed. While the plot is interesting, it's not always easy to follow, and some small details could easily be missed, but the movie is always visually stunning.

Jason Behr is captivating as Ethan. He is a natural lead, with a strong screen presence that commands attention. Amanda Brooks is delightful as Sarah, adding a strong female character addition to an otherwise male-dominated cast. Robert Forster is a joy to watch, bringing his gravitas to the role of Jack.

The music and sound design of Dragon Wars are also noteworthy. The soundtrack is epic and exciting, fitting perfectly with the fast-moving action scenes. The sound design is top-notch, delivering crisp and clear audio that immerses you into the film's world.

In conclusion, Dragon Wars is an epic story about good versus evil, that takes the viewer on a journey of discovery and adventure. It's engaging, visually stunning, and overall entertaining to watch. While some may find the plot to be a bit convoluted, the movie's strong visuals, performances, and special effects make it worth the trip to the cinema.

Overall, Dragon Wars is a must-watch movie for fans of action and fantasy genres, and it's an excellent example of a South Korean action-fantasy movie with Hollywood-style visuals.

Dragon Wars is a 2007 action movie with a runtime of 1 hour and 30 minutes. It has received mostly poor reviews from critics and viewers, who have given it an IMDb score of 3.5 and a MetaScore of 33.
