“They've made our world their battleground.”
Dragon Wars: D-War (2007) transmutes a centuries-old Korean legend into a modern Los Angeles spectacle, where Ethan's discovery of a warrior's spirit within him and his chance encounter with Sarah, the embodiment of his ancestor's beloved, incites a wrathful dragon invasion. Director Kim Jee-woon's visual flair is evident in the film's climactic battle sequences, which fuse CGI grandeur with frenetic action, though the narrative's reliance on coincidence and contrivance occasionally undermines its mythic ambition.
