Moby Dick with dragons (really skinny, odd looking ones). The concept is okay, the execution doesn't work. None of Ahab's crew is very loyal, and Danny Glover seems to have left his acting chops back in the 90's. This is dull and almost lifeless. Sofia Pernas is pretty hot though.

Llevar a Moby Dick a esto es lamentable, una película aburrida con nada digno de resaltar.

A Version Of Moby Dick, With Dragons Is A Great Idea And Is One That Should Work But Sadly This Wasn't A Very Well Made Film. What Pulls The Film Up A Couple Of Notches Is The Script And Plot Which Are Great, But We Have The Basic Premise Which Interests It's Viewers But Nothing Is Really Built Upon. The Acting From Glover However Is Surprisingly Good, When You Consider That It's Got A Decent But Basic Script. The Direction Itself However Is Very Poor, & The Camera Work The Same, With Very Shaky Camera Shots On Action Scenes, The Music Fits The Films Themes & Scenes But Is Also Basic And Poor. Putting All The Bad Points Aside However, I Found This An Entertaining Film, That Filled In It's Run Time Neatly, Both Without Too Much Action As Well As Without Too Many Slow Parts, The Balance Isn't Exactly Right But It Is Pretty Good.

Herman Melville's Moby-Dick gets a landlocked remix courtesy of ill-conceived action-adventure Age of the Dragons.

Might have worked in the hands of Roger Corman and John Sayles.

Empire Magazine

Like a harpoon in the side of Herman Melville's great novel, this low budget fantasy yarn is more drag than dragon.

Rated: 1/5

Dreadful Moby Dick adaptation that squanders its perfectly decent set-up and is further let down by a terrible script, atrocious acting, poor action sequences and some extremely dodgy special effects.
