‘Dragonball Evolution’

Based on the popular Japanese manga franchise, this film follows a group of warriors trying to protect the Earth from hostile invaders.

Running time/rating: 1:24; PG for intense sequences of action/violence and brief mild language.

What they’re saying: “There’s not a great track record for live-action adaptations of manga/anime/video games. Also, it’s about a hunt for … dragon balls.” – David Frese, The Kansas City Star
