Plot Summary: In a small Korean village, five hundred years ago, a girl
named Narin was born carrying the coveted Yeouijoo inside her. The Heavens sent
the protector Bochun and his protégé Haram, to ensure that when it came time,
Narin was peacefully sacrificed to the pre-determined Good Imoogi. Bochun
vigorously trained Haram as a knight, to be prepared for the eventual day when
Narin would be delivered to the Good Imoogi. The day the Dark Imoogi, Buraki,
and his army destroyed Narin's village looking for the Yeouijoo, Bochun
instructed Haram to take her to the Good Imoogi.
The young girl and her knight would then fulfill the giant's serpent's destiny
by giving it the power to save the world and become a heavenly dragon. By this
time, after spending several years together, Haram and Narin had fallen in love.
Unable to sacrifice their love to the benevolent Imoogi, they jumped to their
deaths together in each other's arms. The Good Imoogi's destiny was unfulfilled
and he would have to wait another five hundred years until the next Yeouijoo
appears.
It is now five hundred years later in present day Los Angeles and the quest for
the Imoogi is reborn. Haram and Narin have been reincarnated as Ethan Kendrick
(Jason Behr) and Sarah Daniels (Amanda Brooks) whose bond of love remains
unsevered. Ethan is an investigative reporter for the local news. He is closely
following a series of unexplainable disasters occurring in the area. When a
young woman named Sarah is linked to those occurrences, Ethan remembers that an
ancient man he met many years before had predicted all of these events . Ethan
finds Sarah and helps her escape the wrath of Buraki and his army. Aware that
Sarah must sacrifice herself in order to save the city from the Buraki and
ensure that the Good Imoogi becomes the Dragon, Ethan tries to convince Sarah
that there is another way to battle the Imoogies. Meanwhile, the FBI agent on
the case, Frank Campbell (Robert Forster), has uncovered the Imoogies'
intentions through his own investigations. Campbell is ready to sacrifice Sarah
to the demonic animals to save Los Angeles. In the face of chaos and
destruction, Ethan and Sarah must decide their own fate - whether to defy the
will of heaven once again and let the city be destroyed or deliver Sarah to the
Good Imoogi
EN 5 Second Review:
Sci fi channel television fare, at best. If you made it
past the movie description this far, you may as well see it.
This
monster film makes even the remake of Godzilla look
good Frank Scheck: Hollywood Reporter
Unlike his countryman Joon-ho Bong's "The Host," which
revived the monster movie genre with wit and style, South
Korean helmer Hyung-rae Shim applies a strictly grade-Z
sensibility to "Dragon Wars."...more
I’m
happy to say that after finally seeing the film in the
theater that Hyung-rae Shim is far from a South Korean Uwe
Boll Kevin Carr: 7(M) Pictures
“D-War” is one of those films that I would swerve into on
the SciFi Channel late one night and stay up until the wee
hours of the morning to watch without feeling guilty at all....more
These tanks are part of the
production of the film "Dragon Wars" which is
releasing in the US on September 14th, 2007. They
were not firing live rounds. The .50 Calibur machine
guns had full load blanks. Listen to how long the
echo is! Each blank round cost three dollars, and
they spent fifteen thousand dollars worth of bullets
that day!
