The plot: Forced to hide in the shadows, fugitive hero Erik Reed, aka the White Dragon, must clear his name to reunite with his family. Standing in his way is a mysterious villain who’s obsessed with destroying him.
This film was disappointing.
Pros: The first pro is seeing Jason David Frank on screen for the last time. Also good to see Wes & Mara back on screen as well. Most of the acting was descent enough. The combat martial arts fights were really well done. The suits were pretty alright & I was caught off guard when David Ramsey turn out to be Ashtagor.
Cons: The sensual effects were not up to par than previous Bat in the Sun videos. It failed to make me connect with the storyline. Aaron Schoenke’s acting wasn’t that great. I didn’t like the editing. But the suits do feel a little too quotes like iron man and Power Rangers. & the shaky Camera was too close seeing what happen. There some things were cut out of this film & it failed to explain any of the world building.
