Review
Scourge of Worlds is a Dungeons and Dragons adventure, which makes the viewer choose the destiny of the characters that are displayed on screen. What I liked was the great animation that this movie contains. The computer graphics were amazing, although the combat fighting seemed a little fake; if you asked me. In the path that I chose it was quite comical at certain points. Just a “heheh” laugh, but that undoubtedly brightened the mood of Scourge of Worlds and made it much more entertaining than it was without those quick hitters.
The story is well, different. I only got through one ending so there are a few more endings to this movie. By doing this the show is more mysterious and for the die hard fans, it would be a joy for them to browse through this movie again and again, as it does contain an adequate replay value due to the interest that it may spur with all those alternative endings.
As the synopsis stated, the story is about the Scourge of Worlds; a weapon of some sort that has enough power to destroy the world. Regdar’s mentor, Briathion sets out to retrieve it for a particular purpose that you will soon find out later, that he is being controlled by a wannabe angel who acts as his guardian. The things get a bit complicated, but it manages to work out as the scenes move on. I am actually happy about the ending that I attained through my selections. It was not a disappointment and the good beat out the evil in my ending :). Scourge of Worlds is not a title for those who are not Dungeons and Dragons fan. For those who are, well this DVD just found a home.
The Breakdown
Scourge of Worlds is really not a bad title at all, I would say given another reviewer, probably he or she might have view it has something better than what I make it out to be.
