I randomly clicked on the "recently added" section of that Plex instance. I had no expectation whatsoever.
In short, this is a classic dragon and princess fairy tale, except the princess will slay the dragon. The actual scenario is not much longer nor deeper than that. Everything is expected long before it happens, and there is not much of character building. So overall, it feels bland and uninteresting.
One good thing is that it's well produced. I don't know if it has a big budget, but the special effects are good enough, costumes are good and the fairy tale ambiance is well done in the first part. Half of the movie happens in a cave, which probably helps with the budget.
It could be an okay movie for kids, but there are slightly graphic scenes of flesh burning and dragon claws perforating a chest, so... not so much (I just checked it's PG-13).
So honestly, I'm not so sure who's the intended audience is. Maybe a short window after which teenagers can watch movies without having nightmares, and before they enjoy good movies?
