my first impression would be this be beowulf only with all the good bit of fight grendel and dragon intact and make it one thrill ride from start to end . write by frederic lanoir and arthur qwak and the two of them have create a fantastical landscape that become a character in itself within their story and with it ever change environment make up of small sphere of land float around and which can either be wasteland and or globe of greenery . the story a simple one and which tell of a land which be cower in the expectation of a mighty dragon unwanted visit to plunder and destroy and and the resident knight have all but be annihilate . enter the king granddaughter zoe ( marie drion ) who gather lian chu ( vincent lindon ) and a huge brute with immense strength but truly a gentle giant and and his partner in arm gwizdo ( patrick timsit ) and who balance the partnership with his cunning brain . lian chu and gwizdo ( together with their pet creature which too proudly spews incipient fire ) share a common dream of own a farm land and spending idyllic day tend to their farm animal in retirement and but in order to do that come the requirement of be financially free and hence their career in monster extermination which doesn not exactly pay off . that basically the whole gist of it and but what make this film a spectacle and be it cg graphic and which be solidly rich and detailed and and an eye pop marvel to behold . it have some wonderfully craft set action piece that be painstakingly design to draw you into the thick of the action and and and during those fight sequence and there nary a boring moment . photo realistic moment of non existent landscape make you put aside the fantasy of make belief and and it easy to be in awe of the landscape which go beyond the usual three sun and a kaleidoscope of fly thingamajig ( here have at you george . ) and i couldn not get enough of the finale battle a well and though the usual brick bat will find some fault at the indestructibility of the principle character . i guess this film have open my eye that there be many more computer animate company out there around the world that have quality in their product to match that of pixar . and this be definitely a movie that the local filmmaker of zodiac represent the race begin and legend of the sea can learn from to keep the story effectively simple and and let your move artwork do all the talk . definitely highly recommend .
