D-War Movie Thread
Im kind of on the fence with this one. I saw the trailer and it looks pretty good but it could be really stupid. Anyone heard or seen this one yet?

most expensive korean film with an ending product of a B-movie CG effects |
Actually I heard the effects were great. The script is suspect. Kind of like if a Sci-Fi Channel original movie got the summer tentpole treatment.
I'm into all things giant monster so I'll definitely be checking it out. |
Seeing that snake eat an elephant is worth the price of admission. Heard it's horrible except if you love cheesy b-movies.
I can't wait. |
Wow, that looks terrible. No thanks. I'll stick to good Korean movies.

who thought a korean made monster movie by a former comedianne placed in L.A. and shot in english would be a good idea? Thats like having Robin Williams fly over to mainland china to make a King Kong movie shot in cantonese.

This thread is awesome, I just saw the trailer and reached out the production company for a screener. I'm a huge fan of giant creature movies (I've reviewed Boa, Python, Python II, Boa vs. Python and Venomous, just to name a few). Can't wait to see this. The beginning of the trailer totally looks like the attack on Hoth.

I just got back from a 2 week trip to Asia and this was still playing in theatres in Seoul. I was debating whether or not to see it, but decided to hold off and wait for it's release here in the States since I noticed that most of the cast were Americans.
I guess Koreans are starting to follow Hong Kong in creating some english language productions for the international market. |

Re: D-War Movie Thread
I loooove cheesy B movies and I just watched this the other day - and goddamn I thought this was an utter blast - this was ten times more entertaining than 'The Last Airbender' - I thought the special effects were great and the movie moved briskly - the whole scene with the dragons assualt on Los Angeles had me grinning from ear to ear, it all played out and looked like a Michael Bay film. :thumbsup: in my book.

Re: D-War Movie Thread
....I think the effects were shit for a film of that year. And I haven't even seen the whole film. I saw 10 mins. and I just...it was bad.

Re: D-War Movie Thread
your opinion is null - since you didn't watch the whole film ;)
if you want bad, check out the ScyFy channels 'Giant Piranha' - that was by far the worst FX I've ever seen. |
Re: D-War Movie Thread
It's been a while since I've watched this, but I don't remember the effects being "shit". Not top-tier ILM or WETA work, but I wasn't taken out of the movie because of the effects (the story is another matter). Story flaws and all, I had a good time watching it. I may have to pop it in the DVD player sometime soon...
http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y15...LC/Buraki3.jpg This picture of Buraki on the hospital kind of illustrates my point. The shot looks fine IMO. Now, how a giant snake/dragon could slither through town and on top of a hospital without anyone noticing is beyond me. Visual effect good, writing not so much. This film did great box office in Korea (surplanting The Host as top film all-time there in the process). You'd think there'd have been a sequel by now. but so far nothing. |
