About

You’ll probably like this gritty dragon-apocalypse adventure if you enjoy nonstop action and a bleak post-apocalyptic world; Not for you if you want a deep, compelling story, lighter fun, or want more color and variety like Terminator Salvation or Lara Croft: Tomb Raider - The Cradle of Life.

Pros: impressive dragon action; strong cast; solid effects | Cons: weak storytelling; grim, colorless tone; moments feel off
