Sir Patrick Stewart voices Drago, the magnificent dragon who became bonded with King Gareth. When the King dies, his potential heirs, twin grandchildren who possess the dragon's unique strengths, use their inherited powers against each other to vie for the throne. When Drago's source of power, known as the "Heartfire", is stolen, more than the throne is at stake. The siblings must end their rivalry with swords and sorcery, or the kingdom may fall.
This movie was very touching. It was more character driven then your average Dragon Fantasy. You feel for these characters.
A few quibbles: the revisionist Feminism did not make sense. There was a lot of Game of Thrones. Especially the Brother-Sister "close" relationship. Some of the supporting characters were throw away.
On the other hand, for a low budget movie the special effects were pretty good. Patrick Stewart is a worthy successor to Sean Connery.
All in all I enjoyed this movie.
