Reworking of classic novel 'Moby Dick' but this time using dragons as the game or hunt as it were. To be honest this is a really neat little idea, the only problem is its been made poorly which is a shame.I think this could of worked had a little more time and money been invested, the cast are OK I guess...for an action type film. Danny Glover is a little miscast as Ahab perhaps but Vinnie Jones does surprisingly well as does the hero Sevier as Ishmael. Nothing to rave about of course but the cheesiness of it all suits them fine and you know to expect ham.Of course the effects are slightly off-key, CGI is average but shows promise, even the use of old stop motion techniques used by Harryhausen are utilised at one point which almost works (oddly it looked better in the old mythology films of Harryhausen). Then you do have silly things which needed more planning such as the Pequod as a wheeled land tank/ship thingy. This didn't really work as it was way too small looking, it was like the Tardis, small on the outside yet apparently huge on the inside with about eight adults living in it with lots of quarters shown! plus how did it run? petrol? diesel? someone pedaling below? I must also mention my dislike of virtually everyone in action films these days being some kind of martial arts expert and able to defeat multiple enemies without breaking sweat. It really is so over used and in this film its so out of place, what's wrong with some good old fashioned fisticuffs?A nice idea but the execution is weak, worth checking out if you like dragon flicks though...I guess, not much else going for it.3/10

This movie shows exactly why Danny Glover should slowly go away and retire forever. Part of the reason people like the book is because its man vs whale and you get to understand both before the book is over. Glover just kills the whole Ahab character! He has no interaction with any of the actors or with the dragon himself. Hell, he stays in his cabin most of the movie. Uh, wasn't Ahab extremely important in the book? He doesn't even sound like a credible Ahab in the first place. The movie might of been worth a 3 with all unknowns but Glover made it worth a 1.STAY AWAY!!

I'm not a big fan of Moby Dick but this was a poor and not very respectful adaptation. A land boat? That's pretty lame. Harpoons? Not very creative. Searching for the great white dragon? Very weak. Herman Melville's book captured its audience because the story is exciting, engrossing, and emotionally moving. In the original, Ahab wants revenge: We can understand that. The other boat is seeking her lost children: Again we can empathize. But this ridiculous collection of highlights is just stupid. Adding a love story was okay but everything else just seemed contrived and awful. I liked the actors but not the movie.

I just saw this movie today. I was intrigued when I saw the title because I like movies about dragons. Then I read the info that it was based on Moby Dick, and it was a newer movie. I knew it would probably not be a big budget film, especially since it was on Syfy. Neither would it be the best scripted movie, but I figured since I like Danny Glover it would be OK. I agree with a lot of the reviewers that it didn't have the best acting or costumes, special effects were minimal, the cgi dragons were OK. However, I have to say that it was one of the better movies that I've seen on Syfy. It wasn't as bad as it could have been, think of Mega Shark vs Octopus or some of the other Dean Cain/Debbie Gibson/Brandy movies that we've seen. It somewhat followed Moby Dick, same names as the book, just switched a whale with a dragon, and a ground boat with a ship. I was not disappointed because I knew what to expect, the movie did it's job, it entertained me for an hour and a half.
