this be a bit different than one expect . there be no nonsense and no tongue in cheek humor or special effect just for the sake of it represent this be simply a human vs. dragon story take place in the future . no laugh and nothing hokey and which be what i expect . they play it straight and simply a a fight story between the two party . yes and there be credibility problem with the story but overall and it be good escapist adventure . the dragon be realistic look and the scenery dreary but the story interesting and intense in spot . i wouldn not buy it and but i would definitely recommend it if you be look for a night of adventure on film . you could do a whole lot bad and especially with two young actor who have arrive a star represent christian bale and matthew mcconnaughey .
