It is a South Korean film made partially in English, and it is known as D-War internationally. The film received mixed reviews from critics but was a box office success in South Korea.

The movie opens with a voiceover explaining that dragons had once roamed the earth, and humans fought them using special weapons. after they went extinct, the weapons were scattered worldwide. In modern-day Los Angeles, Ethan Kendrick (played by Jason Behr) is a journalist covering a massive construction project. He meets an old lady named Jack (played by Robert Forster), who tells him that he is the reincarnation of a Korean prince and that he alone can save humanity from an ancient evil force.

Ethan meets the beautiful Sarah (played by Amanda Brooks), who also has strange dreams about this similar mission.

The movie is full of intense action-packed scenes that keep you at the edge of your seat. One of the most impressive scenes happens halfway through the movie. A giant serpent destroys a bridge, driving people and cars into the water below, and Buraki's army destroys Los Angeles, crashing buildings and killing all who stand in its way. The special effects in this film are extraordinary, and they are a highlight of the movie.

The story itself is inspired by Korean mythology, which might make it tricky to understand. Still, Dragon Wars does a good job of explaining everything the audience needs to know without being too heavy-handed.

Jason Behr is captivating as Ethan. He is a natural lead, with a strong screen presence that commands attention.

The music and sound design of Dragon Wars are also noteworthy. The soundtrack is epic and exciting, fitting perfectly with the fast-moving action scenes. The sound design is top-notch, delivering crisp and clear audio that immerses you into the film's world.

While some may find the plot to be a bit convoluted, the movie's strong visuals, performances, and special effects make it worth the trip to the cinema.
