Josh (Louis Corbett) and Ling (Li Lin Jin) thought they were in for a boring vacation with each of their parents at an archaeological dig in China. But the new friends soon discover they're right in the middle of an adventure when they find a mysterious monster that's been hidden deep in a temple for thousands of years. Josh tries to warn his father (Sam Neill) about the strange and magical creature, while Ling senses bigger forces at play. They soon realise that the monster is really an ancient Chinese Dragon, trapped on Earth because it's been separated from its magical pearl. On a breathtaking journey of good and evil Josh and Ling must uncover the mystery of the pearl so that the dragon can finally return to its rightful place.
Leave your thoughts about The Dragon Pearl.
| Family Home TheaterJames PlathIt's about as original as two kids meeting on summer vacation and finding adventure together. But The Dragon Pearl has solid enough execution to make it enjoyable anyway. |
| Common Sense MediaRenee SchonfeldFamily-friendly adventure full of magic and battles. |
| The National (UAE)James LuxfordChina's landscapes and a strong cast elevate the cheap-looking CGI. |
| User ReviewTanya MNice, as far as kid's adventure movies go. |
| User ReviewTom WCute, predictable movie. Kids should like it. |
| User ReviewCharlie GA mixed Chinese and English Children's adventure to talk to a dragon. |
| User ReviewRichard DAn admirable attempt to make a Spielberg family film. The story is straightforward and thus predictable but the exploration of a Chinese legend is still interesting enough. Biggest problem are the characters and the acting by the two child leads. They aren't given much to work with and their lack of experience shows. Sam Neil is the only decent actor and he more or less plays the same character from Jurassic Park. There is a Jackie Chan type character in a supporting role. He's fine, but no Jackie. He's mostly there for comedy and the comedy in this film is all over the place. Would have been better if they plaid it straight. But the film was bold enough to make fun of the Mummy 3. |
| User ReviewDennis MBeautiful story and beautiful setting with so much unused potential. Disappointing. |
| User ReviewFarah RClearly a low budget movie and it acts upon it. The cast can't act, the story is dull, and the effects are apparently fake. |
| User ReviewJonathan II think I made it about a half hour, maybe into the movie and wow it wasn't giving me anything. The acting, writing, everything was pretty terrible. Sam Neill couldn't even save anything and all I wanted to see was the dragon. Then I did and it was lame. Oh well, gave it a shot, but when I have to turn a movie off, it is insanely bad because I've sat through total garbage before. I'm sure the filmmakers worked hard to tell this story but next time, just aim higher. |
