They reach Wednesbury and Fastrad falsely accuses Silas of being a poacher in order to wiggle out of the debt. Silas is joined by the Mystic Scholar Ling Woon Young Park, the vengeanceseeking Remmegar Richard Wharton, and King Wednesburys warrior daughter Medina Angel Boris. One of the meteors was damaged when it fell, killing its dragon passenger. Ling studies the dead beast and the party decides to set off to hunt the remaining dragons using a giant balista. While they are gone, Fastrad continues plotting against Wednesbury, and blackmails Wednesburys aide to kill Silas.Stephanie Star Smith of Box Office Prophets gave high marks to the special effects creating the dragons. She notes that in the past, SciFi Originals flicks have had some serious issues with CGI beasties, but approved of the realism of these creatures in this film. She found the acting to be generally pretty good, and made special mention of the work in the film of John RhysDavies and Richard Wharton when opining that Maxwell Caulfield seemed to be an unfortunate casting decision. In summarizing the overall film, she offered just over an hourandahalf, Dragon Storm doesnt wear out its welcome, and since the dragons appear from nearly the first scene, you dont have to wait ages for a look at the real stars of the film. ........
