Scourge
of Worlds - A Dungeons & Dragons Adventure (2003)
Scourge of Worlds: A Dungeons and Dragons Adventure
is not a film sequel to Dungeons and Dragons
(2000), but the DVD equivalent of an interactive
role-playing novel. There are over 900 short
digitally animated sequences, leading every so often
to a choice to be made with the remote control,
resulting after about 90 minutes in one of four
possible endings. Just as the original D&D was
inspired by The Lord of the Rings, the
scenarios here are Tolkien rehashed: a newly arisen
darkness is seeking an ancient ultimate weapon,
against which stand a human warrior, Regdar; a
halfling, Lidda; and an elven wizard, Mialee. The
CGI is closer to Roughnecks: The Starship
Troopers Chronicles than the pseudo-realism of
Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within, the
electronic score is tiresome and the contemporary
voice acting, using such expressions as "heads up"
and "…or something," is laughable.
