Storyline:
Set in a mythical realm where Captain Ahab and crew hunt dragons for the vitriol that powers their world, Ishmael, a charismatic harpooner joins their quest. Ahab's adopted daughter Rachel, beautiful and tough, runs the hunting vessel. Ahab's obsession is to seek revenge on a great "White Dragon" that slaughtered his family when he was young and left his body scarred and mauled, drives the crew deeper into the heart of darkness. In the White Dragon's lair Ahab's secrets are revealed and Rachel must choose between following him on his dark quest or escaping to a new life with Ishmael.

Review:
Before you start watching this, assuming that you will watch it, you should know that this is an adaptation of Herman Melville's "Moby Dick". But instead of a white whale here we have a white dragon. This movie is nor god or bad. It's somewhere in between. Watchable. There are better dragon movies, such as "Dragonheart" or "Reign of fire", but if you a fan of dragon movies watch it. Maybe you'll like it. I know I won't watch it again.

Rating: 5/10
